Blood Drives
Our Parish usually holds two blood drives each year (one in the Spring and one in the fall) with the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank. Anyone in the community is welcome to give at Barren's United Lutheran Church in Dillsburg. Questions, contact Jan Keslar or Linda Gochenauer. These ladies, along with Donna Rupp provide wonderful food for everyone who attempts to donate. Walk-ins are welcome!

Heifer International
Annual Pork & Saurkraut Dinner - Jan. 1
Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. Our animals don't just provide project partners with a reliable source of food, but also a reliable source of income. Extra agricultural products, such as milk from cows or goats, honey from bees or eggs from chickens, can be both shared within the community and sold at market. This new income, coupled with the training in sustainable practices that our partners receive, allows partners to clothe their families, provide them with medical care and send their children to school. |
Malaria Campaign
The ELCA, through the ELCA Malaria Campaign, is joining hands with eleven Lutheran church bodies in Africa and becoming part of an historic global movement to say, “enough is enough!” No child, no person, should die of a disease that is both preventable and treatable. Therefore the ELCA Malaria Campaign has committed to raise $15 million to help prevent, treat and educate communities in Africa about malaria and eliminate deaths from this disease—for good.
