In December 2024, ReconcilingWorks launched a mutual aid fund to provide support and assistance to LGBTQ Lutherans. “Mutual aid” is defined as a community working together to collectively support each others needs, especially where other social safety nets have left gaps. ReconcilingWorks’s mutual aid fund has been set up to support LGBTQ families and individuals in our congregation and ministries. Specifically, these funds will help people with processes like legal name changes, document updates, and adoption proceedings, where cost can be a barrier. Applicants are eligible to receive up to $500 (depending on their needs and situation), and the decision committee meets bi-weekly. If God is calling you to support this fund, please visit: reconcilingworks.org/resources/mutual-aid/
