  • 5K FOR CHILD HUNGER RELIEF.

    We have partnered with Hope United Methodist to Walk, Run, and Ride for Child Hunger relief. Emmanuel Lutheran Church is the half way point for respite for participants. We provide water, snacks, restrooms, and shade.  We hope there will be another opportunity soon. 

  • SOUTHFIELD-LATHRUP CROP HUNGER WALK

    Emmanuel has a strong tradition of supporting the Crop Hunger Walk each year. We partner with Lawrence Technological University and other area congregations and community groups to provide an awareness-and-fundraising event benefiting Church World Service and their efforts to fight global food scarcity. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the walk are returned to local food organizations to help address hunger in the very community in which the walk is held.
