The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with about 4 million members in nearly 10,000 congregations across the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

ELCA Good Gifts program by collecting for animals and things that will help our global neighbors live self-sustainably. This is a special effort through the ELCA World Hunger effort to reach out globally with specific gifts to others. You choose what to give and donate accordingly. It's also a great gift idea for someone you know; give the donation of a goat to that person for whom you never know what gift to get!
