For as many years as we have recorded history, we read of how human care has been shared. Concern for fellow humans is what makes us more civilized human beings. The most ancient texts of the Old Testament raise the challenge to help widows and orphans the vulnerable.
Strangers are to be treated with respect.
The poor and those in debt are still given rights. Now in the 21st century, we have put many expectations for human care in our laws, regulations, and societal assumptions. Congregations, communities, and individuals frequently do volunteer resources, time and skills to help others. We are excited to celebrate 75 years of service as an agency of the Lutheran Church. We provide services to enhance the opportunities and options available to our brothers and sisters with special needs.
