Augustana Lutheran Church
How We Serve
Uplift
Augustana is proud to be a sponsor of Uplift Pine River Area Kids.
Uplift provides supplemental food for the weekend for students in need who have been signed up
for the program. The program runs during the school year and is for kids in pre-school through high school. Food bags are provided weekly for approximately 150 students. We rely on area volunteers to keep the program running and for monetary donations. Uplift is in its seventh year of operation and from the beginning many volunteers are from Augustana.

Gifts for Kids- Osceola
Gifts for Kids provides children with a Christmas present, as the name implies, but also supplies goods for the whole family, including hats, mittens or gloves, socks, household supplies, a $15 meat voucher to the store in their community, board games and a $10 voucher to the INC Spot store in Reed City.
Sewing Circle
An offshoot of our WELCA organization, Sewing Circle provides lap quilts for WISE, OASIS, Red Cross, and the Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center just to name a few. Yearly efforts are blessed and dispersed all across the state. Our sewing ladies meet every Tuesday at 1pm.
Renucci Hospitality House
The volunteer meal program at Renucci is an opportunity for those who want to cook a meal for our families, to do so in our Renucci Hospitality House kitchen! These meals make a big different in the lives of families in crisis. This opportunity is recommended for any teams, groups, businesses or associations and is a wonderful way to get your team together give back to families in need.
Twice a year our congregation cleans up the two mile stretch from Mackinaw Trail to 200th Ave on 20 Mile Road
