Bill > SR5

This resolution honors Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI), a non-profit organization that has been providing social services in Iowa since 1864, beginning as a children's home for Civil War orphans. The resolution recognizes LSI's comprehensive services, which include early childhood programs, mental health services, adoption and foster care support, disability services, and the Global Greens program. It highlights that LSI operates in over 20 locations across 17 counties, employs more than 350 people, and serves families in all 99 Iowa counties. The resolution celebrates LSI's mission of responding to "the love of Jesus Christ through compassionate service" and acknowledges its significant contributions to the state's economic and social well-being. The Senate formally honors LSI's commitment to helping Iowans grow and thrive, encourages Iowans to continue supporting the organization's work, and officially designates March 11, 2025, as Lutheran Services in Iowa Day to recognize the organization's 160-year history of community service.
