Thank You for Your Outstanding Support
Through the 2026 SML Gives Day! 

Wow! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the outstanding support Lake Christian Ministries received through the 2026 SML Gives Day.  Together we generated $104,180 for Lake Christian Ministries’ services. These funds will  provide vital services for a growing number of local families who are struggling to meet basic needs. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for wrapping your arms around our mission to care for our vulnerable neighbors during difficult times! A special thank you goes to our LCM supporters who provided a $1 for $1 match for the first $30,000 donated. This challenge match was met by 146 donors who care deeply about assisting our children and families in crisis.

 Your donation will be used to help families who are struggling with hunger and crisis move toward a stable and healthy future. Your generosity will have a lasting impact. Together we are making a difference. 

In appreciation,

We would like to extend our appreciation to our wonderful SML community for helping Lake Christian Ministries bring joy to 808 children through the 2025 A Child’s Christmas Program. High living expenses continued to impact low-income families this past year, which created a significant increase in requests for Christmas gifts from parents who are struggling to make ends meet.

We were overwhelmed with the community’s support to fulfill Christmas wishes for 808 children in need. These children live in homes where income is not enough to pay household bills, much less buy warm clothes or Christmas gifts. Our warm and generous SML community rallied together to provide personalized gifts for each child through Angel Cards.  Our community donated warm coats, clothing, books, and toys for participating children. Dedicated volunteers sorted and loaded presents in parents’ cars on December 13. 

The generosity of our wonderful community is such a blessing. On behalf of the 808 children in the SML community who received toys and warm coats under their trees this year, I want to thank our community supporters for assisting us with the 2025 A Child’s Christmas Program.  We look forward to working with you again on the 2026 A Child’s Christmas Program. 

We hope that 2026 brings you good health and much happiness.

In appreciation,

Jane Winters
