INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we highlight the nonprofit efforts of Lutheran Social Services of Michigan.  Foster care, adoption, refugee and senior services are some of the focuses of LSSM that effect change in hundreds of lives each year.

The organization was originally incorporated in 1934, and today Lutheran Social Services of Michigan spans the state’s Lower Peninsula with more than 70 programs in 40 cities.

Vickie Thompson-Sandy of LSSM joins us on air this episode to explain the organization’s vision to build communities of service, promoting human dignity and advocating equality and justice, through work with children, seniors and families.

 

MUSIC

Music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio comes from local band John’s Brown Shoes, with their first full-length release called Colorblind. The song is “Confidence, Control.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
