Grace and peace to you in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Milaca, Minnesota offers limited benevolence assistance to the Milaca community.  Thanks to the generous support of members of St. Paul’s, and the gifts of others in the community, we offer this assistance in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • All applicants must fill out and submit an Application for Benevolence.
  • Priority is given as follows:
    1. Communicant Church Members
    2. Families of Communicant Church Members who reside in the greater Milaca area
    3. Families of Communicant Church Members who are members of an LCMS congregation
    4. Non-members who reside in the greater Milaca area
    5. Non-members who do not reside in the greater Milaca area
  • Proof of need is required at the time of application
  • NO CASH is given at any time except to Communicant Church Members with specific and severe need
  • Benevolence assistance is generally limited to gift cards, gas cards, or vouchers which can be used at local businesses or organizations
  • A valid ID (driver’s license, state ID, etc.) MUST be provided.

While it is our desire to assist everyone as much as we can, due to limited funds we can only offer assistance to those who request it occasionally. 

We provide for the following needs ONLY:

  • Fuel Assistance
  • Grocery Assistance

Those making requests of any other type will be turned away or referred to another local organization better equipped to handle such requests.
