It should be noted that St. Luke’s donations for outreach always extends well beyond what the designated outreach budget funds reflect. For example, PINS (Partner’s in Service) is funded by individual contributions by St. Luke’s members. Although the pandemic limited some of the PINS activities we were still able to assemble and deliver more than 50 back-to-school backpacks to the Springfield Dept. of Children & Family Services that were then distributed by the social workers to foster kids or children in crisis.
