Ways to Give

You can make a difference in the life of Luther Home

From dining to make a difference at Greater Toledo Bob Evans Restaurants on #GivingTuesday, collecting items from our needs list or making a direct donation on our website, there are multiple ways to contribute to the life of Luther Home of Mercy that will fit with each person's values and pocketbook.

Needs List

Are you an avid shopper who loves to find a great deal?  You can put your shopping skills to good use when purchasing items for the LHM community.  Many of the people served by Luther Home receive income far below the United States poverty standards.  When you purchase items from the LHM needs list, you are putting dollars back into the pockets of the people we serve, allowing them to enjoy more of the extras that make life special.  Click HERE to view a list of our current needs. 

Planned Giving & Bequests

Leave your legacy to Luther Home.  We would love to have a conversation with you about how your financial contribution can make a lasting impact in the life of Luther Home of Mercy.  For more information, please contact Jeanette Hrovatich at 419-972-4373 or jhrovatich@luthmin.org.

Birthday Club

Birthdays are a special time for each and every one of us and we all deserve to have our special day recognized and celebrated.  For many LHM residents and clients, experiencing a happy birthday is made difficult by the absence of family and close friends.  Lack of funds compounds this problem as almost 100% of residents and clients have incomes below the federal poverty line.  That's when their LHM family steps forward to make their day special. Supervision joins with staff members and other residents and clients to provide a cake, special gift and a time of shared birthday fellowship.  

The LHM "Birthday Club" was created for donors who wish to assist in making birthdays special.  Your gift of $50 or more to this restricted fund will provide a cake, gift and party decorations for an individual's special day.  We welcome you to give in honor of someone else or even in honor of your own birthday.  If you would like to learn more about the LHM "Birthday Club", please contact Arielle Semer: 419-972-4431, asemer@lutherhome.org. 

Use Our Crews

When you utilize one of the enclaves operated by LHM day habilitation, you are creating an opportunity for a person with an intellectual or developmental disability to earn money and contribute to their community.  We offer document shredding, vending machine services, custom logo wear, work crews (cleaning, assembly & packaging) and ink cartridge recycling.  Director of Community Habilitation Services, Shelly Coker, would be happy to discuss how you can take advantage of the day habilitation services near you.  Contact Shelly at 419-704-8978, scoker@lutherhome.org.
