“Four generations of our family have been blessed to witness Lutheran Family and Children's Services and its antecedents make a real difference in people's lives. We are proud that our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, each in their own way, helped sustain the work of LFCS. We want our children and grandchildren to remain connected to the wonderful work LFCS does to create healthy children and families. We wanted to leave a family legacy. With the help of LFCS staff, we created a family endowment fund, ensuring our financial support for years to come.”
