We are Called to Serve

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,
as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.  1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

God calls us uniquely and equips each of us with special talents. You can make a unique contribution in the body of Christ and we want to help put your gifts and passions to work. At Southwood Lutheran, we offer serving opportunities at Southwood, in the community and around the world.

The Volunteer Hub is the perfect place to explore all of our opportunities.

Day Without Shoes - April 2026 

Southwood will be collecting new or gently used shoes April 6-19th. Please bring your donations to the barrel by Southwood Central.

The foundation of getting them back on their feet is a good pair of shoes.

 
It all started in April 2011 when Cornhusker Bank and People’s City Mission partnered for the first Day Without Shoes campaign to focus on footwear people need. More than 200 businesses, churches, schools, and other organizations served as collection sites for donated new and used shoes. To date, members of Lincoln, Omaha and the surrounding communities have collected 416,000 pairs of shoes and monetary donations totaling nearly $136,000! Help us keep building momentum for this important cause.
