Lutheran World Relief Ingathering — March 24-28, 2008
The Texas District LWML joins forces each year with the WELCA ladies to collect needed items for Lutheran World Relief during the week after Easter. All the boxes are then shipped to LWR warehouses in Baltimore, Md.

Effective immediately, please do not include toothpaste in the health kits you are assembling for Lutheran World Relief. Toothpaste will be added at the warehouse prior to shipping overseas. When sending completed health kits to LWR, please mark the boxes: HEALTH KITS/NO TOOTHPASTE

LWR Stamporee
The goal of the Lutheran World Relief Stamporee is to support LWR's Project Comfort, which provides funding for the shipping of goods to those in need around the world. All LWML societies are encouraged to collect and save cancelled postage stamps and send them to the district stamp chairman. Click here to download an information sheet about the LWR Stamporee.

Here are a few pointers about saving stamps:
• Buy and use commemorative stamps, since they are worth more than common stamps.
• Save all cancelled stamps.
• Place stamps on envelope in the upper right hand corner, allowing 1/4 inch from each edge.
• Stamps need not be trimmed or removed from envelopes.
• IF trimming from envelopes, leave at least 1/4 inch around stamp. Sorting into categories or weighing is not necessary. Do not soak off!
