About the Cover
Pictured on the cover and this page are
refugees who live and work in Oregon
and Washington. They all have a connection to LCS Northwest, as they were
resettled by us, are part of one of our
refugee programs, were in our foster care
program, or work for us. They come from
Afghanistan, Burma, Iraq, Somalia and
Syria. They are members of our LCS
family.

Diversity is Our Strength
Dear Friends,
We celebrate our diversity. With more than 100 programs, our work to
strengthen communities and to help people heal and grow is diverse. The
people we work with and the people we employ are just as diverse.
From Spokane to Seattle to Portland to Klamath Falls, we partner with
seniors, children, youth, families in crisis, people battling addiction, asylum
seekers, the homeless, people healing from traumatic experiences and many
more. I’d like to highlight some of our work:
zz We’re partnering with more families and children. In Washington, our
Wraparound programs in the Tri-Cities are growing quickly, and we’re
expanding Wraparound to Spokane. We opened a new family center
in Arlington, WA in response to the Oso mudslide two years ago.
A Blessing for You
May God bless us with a restless
discomfort about easy answers,
half-truths and superficial relationships, so that we may seek truth
boldly and love wholeheartedly.
May God bless us with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and
exploitation of people, so that we
may work for justice, freedom and
peace.
May God bless us with tears to
shed with and for those who suffer
from pain, rejection, hunger, grief
or war, so that we may reach out
our hands to comfort them and turn
their pain into joy.
May God bless us with enough
foolishness to believe that we really
can make a difference in this world,
so that we are able, with God’s
grace and help, to do what others
claim cannot be done, to bring
justice and kindness to all, to heal,
serve, love and reconcile.
zz In Oregon, we’re working with families to make generational changes
at our “A Family Place” Relief Nurseries in Yamhill County. We’re helping the homeless in Central Oregon. In Klamath Falls and Prineville, as
well as Boise, ID we work in schools to help kids make better choices.
zz We’re fighting human trafficking in Spokane. We’re raising awareness
about a real problem in the Northwest and working with the community
and law enforcement to do something about it.
zz Our Multicultural Community Services continue to expand. Our refugee
resettlement efforts have grown in the Portland-Vancouver and TacomaSeattle areas.
zz In Tacoma, we’re doing more for seniors with dementia. We just started
Memory Cafes, adding to our successful Zoo Walks.
You make our work possible. Thank you for supporting our agency. I will
end with a Catholic Blessing (left) I shared at our recent fundraising brunches. It captures what we’re about.

LCS Northwest Stands with Refugees
King County Executive Dow Constantine held a press conference at our Executive Services at Angle Lake office in SeaTac, WA at the end
of 2015 to say that King County will be welcoming Syrian refugees in 2016. The governors of Oregon and Washington also said that
Syrian refugees would be welcomed in their states.
Nearly every day last year, we looked at pictures of
refugees fleeing Syria. Most showed scared faces of
people clinging to life.
Then one night last November, terrorists attacked Paris
killing more than 100 people. We read the news with
great sadness. The topics of refugees and terrorists became intertwined. People’s compassion turned to fear.
Refugees became a topic of debate and politics. Some
presidential candidates and many governors said refugees are not welcome.
At Lutheran Community Services Northwest, we welcome refugees to the Pacific Northwest. That is one of
the fundamental things we’ve done for 40 years. We
resettle newly-arrived refugees, help them learn basic
living skills, and work with them on mental health issues.
well into the future. We will welcome Christians, Muslims and refugees of all faiths.
After all, we are all God’s children.
We hear people’s concerns and understand their safety fears. We are confident
in our country’s system that handpicks refugees who resettle here. Refugees go
through multiple layers of security checks, including rigorous security screenings that
involve the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Department of Defense
and multiple intelligence agencies.
As a part of a larger community of Lutherans, we feel it is essential to provide opportunities to each refugee in need. If the shoe was on the other foot, if we were
facing these uncertain circumstances, we would hope for the same grace and the
same belief in humanity that we offer at LCS Northwest. We stand with refugees,
as equals, and will help them as our own.
After partnering with more than 35,000 refugees,
we’ve learned that they strengthen our communities,
improve our economy, and diversify our culture. They
are people who need a new country to call home. We
facilitate that process.
Refugees are people fleeing horrific conditions. Listening to their stories is difficult, but we open our doors and
our hearts to them. We will continue to welcome and resettle Syrian and other refugees in the Pacific Northwest

after fleeing the Syrian Civil War.
They flew to Chicago, spent a night, and went
on to Portland. Arab says he loves how Portland is clean and organized. He rarely stops
smiling. His wife says that their children look
and feel so different now. They no longer fear
for their lives when they walk on the streets.
“I’m starting life here and I’m not looking
back,” Arab said. The family needs to heal
both emotionally and physically. Despite a
rough life, they all smile and are thankful for
a new start. “I want to teach my kids to love
the flag so they love their country,” Arab said.
Arab works hard – usually five 10-hour shifts
a week at a manufacturing plant in Beaverton. He wants to spend more time with
his family, learn English, and get a driver’s
license. His new friend and translator, Nabil
Katcho, reminds him that learning takes time.
“He is ready to give up on everything that is
his past,” the translator said for Arab. When
you hear about his past, it’s easy to understand why.
Arab was a carpet retailer for 10 years in
Aleppo, Syria, when the civil war broke out in
March, 2011. Business dried up quickly, food
and water became scarce, and living was
suddenly dangerous. Many bad people were
making and carrying out threats. Within one
month’s time, Arab’s family was devastated.
His brother was shot and killed going to work
as an engineer. His father was murdered collecting his pension check.
Arab had to support his family, so he left his
wife and two kids with other family members and made his way to Istanbul. He found
employment with a tailoring business, where
he ate, slept and worked. He wasn’t treated
well, but he sent money home to his family.
Then Arab found out his wife was pregnant
with their third child. With conditions getting
worse in Syria, he hired smugglers to bring
the family to Istanbul. Life in Istanbul was
difficult. The only housing they could find was
a small basement apartment that filled with
water every time it rained. Many nights the
kids went to bed hungry. Their extended family was split up into different countries – some
migrated to Greece and others resettled in
Germany. There was no school for the oldest

also promote A Family Place in the
community and raise money for it.
Beaverton
Our new client-friendly office space officially opened in August 2015. Our staff
diversity increased, as we now have more
therapists and case managers in the Culturally Specific Mental Health program.
We added a new program - Immigration Counseling and Advocacy Program
(ICAP).
Boise
It’s been an incredible year with new staff,
new schools and a wonderful opportunity
to partner with Dove Mission Initiative’s
African refugee after-school project.
Central Oregon
After a year of negotiating, we are close
to buying the building where we have an
office in Prineville. We earned the funding
for two programs that are scheduled to
start in 2016 – Rental Assistance and Jail
Diversion.
Klamath Falls
Despite a persistently tough area economy and a significant decrease in contract
revenues in 2015, we redefined, reinvigorated and rebalanced our services and
staff. Sometimes it’s not about growth, but
about bringing grace and integrity to our
mission of service and community partnership.
In October, we officially opened our new Arlington Community Resource Center. Developed
in response to the SR 530 Mudslide in March 2014 near Oso, WA, the Center was formed
through a partnership of organizations dedicated to bringing hope and healing to the Stillaguamish Valley after the tragedy.
Portland/Vancouver
Our Refugee Resettlement efforts grew last year, especially in the Tacoma/Seattle areas. Even
with a lack of affordable housing and the political noise about refugees, we successfully resettled 529 refugees in Portland, 138 in Vancouver and 289 in Tacoma/Seattle.
South Puget Sound
We’re doing more for people with dementia and their caregivers. Attendance at our Early
Stage Memory Loss Zoo Walk at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma continues to grow. We teamed
with Elmer’s Restaurant in Tacoma to start Memory Cafes in Tacoma in 2016. Memory Cafes
are a monthly meeting where people at all stages of dementia and their caregivers can share
a meal and social opportunities.
Spokane
Planning is finished and we received the green light to start the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor
program in the summer of 2016. A new Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) program
for at-risk youth will also start in 2016.
Tri-Cities
We had an unprecedented year of growth. We’ve more than doubled our physical space to
accommodate expansion of our WISe program, and we expect the same rate of expansion
next year.
Yamhill County
After years of growing programs, our focus turned to building and deepening ties to the community. We added a volunteer coordinator and events manager, along with investing in internal
and external communications to strengthen our roots in the community.
North Puget Sound
Workers from Nordstrom’s corporate
office spent a day volunteering at
LCS Northwest in SeaTac. They refurbished garden beds for our Family
Center’s community gardens.
International Counseling and Community
Services (ICCS) opened a second location in Kent last year. Now with offices in
SeaTac and Kent, ICCS has more capacity
and is closer to where refugee clients live.

Elise and Marigold: LCS Northwest Teamwork
Counseling is one of our primary services at
LCS Northwest. One of our most unique counseling teams is Elise Hutchison in Spokane and her
guide dog, Marigold.
Marigold is the only Golden Retriever working at LCS Northwest. Hutchison is legally blind,
and Marigold became her guide dog in 2015.
It turns out that Marigold helps her with her job
as a therapist and case manager. Clients relax
more with Marigold around.
“One of my clients was having a tough time really opening up,” Hutchinson said. “Marigold went
and sat with him, and the boy started sharing
things with me. She helped us make progress.”
It’s easy to tell which job Marigold is doing. If
her harness is on, she’s a guide dog, and you
leave Marigold alone. When the harness is off,
she’s a lovable pup who is full of energy and
loves to play with Hutchison’s pet dog, Primrose.
“There are times when therapists have rough
days and they’ll stop by and ask if they can give
Marigold a hug,” Hutchison said. “They leave
feeling relaxed and ready to tackle the next big
thing on their plate.”
Hutchison has worked in the Spokane office since
2013. She earned her master’s degree in clinical
psychology in the spring of 2015.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to work with people who are trying to build up resilience to get
through some of the hardest moments in their
lives,” Hutchison said.
The therapist is not deterred by her lack of vision. Instead of reading body language and facial expressions, Hutchison pays close attention
to rate of speech and pitch changes.
“With some people I can build instant rapport
because they see a person who has overcome
barriers, and it gives them a sense they can do
the same,” Hutchison said. “What they’ve been
through, I can’t even imagine.”

Management’s Responsibilities for
Financial Statements and Internal Control
The financial statements of Lutheran Community Services Northwest and related organizations (LCSNW) were prepared by management, which is responsible for their reliability and objectivity. The statements have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and, as such, include amounts based on informed estimates
and judgments of management. Financial information elsewhere in this annual
report is consistent with the financial statements.
LCSNW maintains internal control over financial reporting and over safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition, which
is designed to provide reasonable assurance to LCSNW’s management and
Board of Directors regarding the preparation and reliability of financial
statements, and the safeguarding of assets. Internal control includes a documented organizational structure, a division of responsibility, and established
policies and procedures, including a code of conduct, to foster a strong ethical
climate.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal
control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even the most effective system of internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and the safeguarding of assets. Furthermore, the effectiveness of
internal control can change with circumstances.

Alice Danielson
In Memoriam †
“Helping others, wanting to
bless the lives of people in
need is part of being a Christian. My deceased husband,
Val, believed it was very
important to share our blessings with those less fortunate.
I know, and my whole family
knows, how important it is to
share what we can with others. We believe the Lord is
honored through the ministry of Lutheran Community
Services Northwest because
he called us to do this kind of
work.” – Alice Danielson
Alice Danielson passed away
last year at 99 years old.
Alice and her husband, Val,
were faithful and generous supporters of our social
ministry from 1994 to 2015.
She was a woman who lived
the Christian faith fully. Her
positive spirit, graciousness
and wonderful smile blessed
all who knew her. She was a
joy to know.
