Ministries
Racine Senior Center . . .
is one of Racine’s longest running weekly senior ministries. For over 50 years seniors have gathered together on Thursdays to visit, enjoy cards, games, and programs that include safety suggestions, blood pressure screening and more.
Lunch is served for a suggested donation of $5 and $3 for left overs • Call Carol Gallagher, Senior Center Director for more information.
Food Justice
United Lutheran works with six other churches to run the Northside Food Pantry for the 53402 Zip code area.
In addition, several times a year United Lutheran makes and serves meals at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church (1100 Erie Street, Racine, WI) and at Living Faith Lutheran Church (2915 Wright Avenue, Racine, WI).
United also supports the Mt. Meru Coffee Project to help support small family coffee growers in Tanzania who grow Fair Trade Coffee. This helps them support their families, send their children to school, access health care, sustain and improve their farms and support their local cooperatives, villages and churches.
DOING JUSTICE NEVER TASTED SO GOOD!
Green Congregation
We are a Green Congregation because we take God's invitation to care for creation seriously. We invested in solar panels, created recycling programs, and constantly strive to reduce our consumption of materials in our daily lives and ministry. Each year in September we celebrate a Season of Creation where we focus on looking at God's creation and end with our annual Pet Blessing service.
Outreach for Hope 2024 RIDE RUN WALK
For several years United members have participated in and donated to the Outreach for Hope Family Ride Run Walk
and this year we again had a team participating.
We’re happy to share that in 2024 Outreach for Hope received a total $150,422 for the year’s annual Family Ride Run Walk fundraiser!
These funds supported grants to our 2024 Ministry Partners serving neighborhoods experiencing material poverty in
the Greater Milwaukee Synod, ELCA.
A huge THANK YOU to our donors, participants, volunteers, fundraising teams and sponsors for this overflowing stream of generosity.
