Decommissioning Parties: Saying Goodbye to Seattle and Tacoma

Pictured: Attendees of the 2018 Seattle Decommissioning Party In June, LVCers in the Pacific Northwest had ‘decommissioning’ parties for both Seattle and Tacoma, as we approach the end of our final year in the PNW. It was an important time to say good bye to the Sula and Mandela Houses and relive some LVC history.   LVC first sent Volunteers to Seattle in the Fall of 1995, and then to Tacoma the very next year. There was a wide range in attendance at both the parties in Tacoma and Seattle – guests ranging from current and former Volunteers and Supporters to an original pre-1995 LVC employee,Read More →

Expectations vs. Experience

Anna Jeide, 2016-17 Volunteer Dag Hammarskjold House, Washington, DC About seven months ago I was having lunch with my adviser at Luther College. With graduation fast approaching, I told her how excited I was to begin my year with Lutheran Volunteer Corps. For a long time I had felt called to participate in LVC, drawn by the promise of intentional community, a commitment to simple living, and the opportunity to work for justice. I was thrilled to be offered a position working directly with Latin@s as a Case Worker at La Clínica del Pueblo, a chance to put my Spanish major to good use byRead More →

Partner Focus: Spirit of Peace Lutheran Church

LVC has been working on its Capital Campaign to purchase the Dorothy Day Volunteer House for quite some time now. The campaign is well on its way to be completed and the purchase and sale agreement was signed just last week! Part of LVC’s excitement in finishing the Dorothy Day House Campaign is what it will mean for its partners in Milwaukee, specifically Spirit of Peace Lutheran Church, who has been a faithful partner in the Milwaukee community.   The Dorothy Day House is actually the Spirit of Peace parsonage, and LVC has rented it from the church for its Volunteer housing for many years. This rental agreement has notRead More →
