Dear Friends:
At Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI), in our publications and conversations, we often share with our supporters
stories of the individuals and families we serve to describe the impact of our work as a human services organization. LSSI’s
2004 Annual Report—“In Human Terms”—juxtaposes some statistics reflecting the numbers of people LSSI served last
year with what those numbers mean on a deeper level. The truth is, reporting on numbers and statistics can be meaningless
and uninteresting unless those numbers are put in some context that people can connect with on an emotional level. While
statistics can be impressive, the impact of service must be measured in human terms.
Thinking about the number of people we serve at LSSI caused me to reflect on the cumulative impact of our interactions
with people on a day-to-day basis, whether in our personal or professional lives. When our work is carried out with love—by
attending to those we serve with love—the impact of our interactions is multiplied. Likewise, one loving exchange or action
can change someone's life. It is not an overstatement to suggest that love and compassion have an exponential power.
So, as you look at this annual report, I ask you not to just look at the numbers of people served by LSSI, significant though
they may be. Look at some of the people we have served and how our interaction in their lives has been part of their finding
some form of healing, some measure of justice, some level of wholeness. How has LSSI’s presence been embodied in human
terms? What you see in these pages will give you a taste of LSSI’s impact in our clients’ lives. Each number has behind it
often hundreds of interactions, hopefully many of which were done from and with love. By extension, I hope that you will also
recognize your impact as a donor, volunteer or staff person. That is, the impact of your love!
As a social ministry organization of the three Illinois synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, LSSI seeks to
carry out Christ’s command that we love one another and so fulfill the gospel. When we live and work in love, amazing things
are possible.
Thank you for your partnership in bringing healing, justice and wholeness to people and communities—for helping us make a
difference, in human terms.
Frederick Aigner, Pastor
President
Lutheran Social Services of Illinois

2004 LSSI Annual Report
✼✼✼1
LSSI’s Visits to Mom/Visits to Dad volunteers
drove 17,000 miles (more than halfway
around the world!) to prison with children
last year, or 85 individual trips averaging 200
miles each. That number doesn’t even include
trips made by the tour buses that also take
families to Illinois prisons to visit their loved
ones twice a month. Every year, about 1,000
They drove more than halfway
around the world last year.
children (like the little girl on the right) are
driven to see their mothers, thanks to
volunteers who, on a regular basis, dedicate
their time, wheels and caring hearts to help
17,000
[miles]
keep families connected.
“My granddaughter is getting older and
always crying about her mother,” says
Beatrice, who is caring for her incarcerated
daughter’s children. “The only way I have to
get her there [to see her mom] is this
wonderful program that gives me and my
family transportation to visit. It helps a
whole lot. …The kids say ‘Can we keep going
to see our mother until she comes home?’”
“These are really remarkable volunteers,”
says Sister Pat Davis, associate executive
director of Prisoner and Family Ministry. “It
touches you to see how excited the kids are.
None of this would be possible without these
volunteers.”

Children need to “read” about 1,000
storybooks before first grade to become
good readers later. Books can be found in all
of the play areas throughout every
classroom at LSSI’s six Head Start sites in
Chicago neighborhoods including CabriniGreen, Englewood, Humboldt Park, North
Austin, Rogers Park and Uptown. As they
gather for “circle” time, children are read
two to six books daily—books like Brown
Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?,
Babushka’s Doll, Abuela, Abiyoyo, and
4 books x 15 classrooms x 248 school days =
Mama, Do You Love Me?
“Preschoolers don’t learn in a vacuum; play
is their dress rehearsal for learning,” says
Program Director Diana Brown, who helps
supervise LSSI’s Head Start sites,
explaining that children begin to make the
14,880
[books read annually at LSSI’s Head Start Centers]
connection between the spoken and written
word early, especially when exposed to
rhyming books and songs. “Children’s
exposure to new words and connected
discovery experiences feeds their creative
imagination and helps them make sense of
the world,” explains Brown. “Their
experiences, field trips and ongoing
opportunities to listen to storybooks enhance
their language development.”
✼✼✼5
Last year, 5,071 people came through
LSSI’s doors for substance abuse treatment
—whether to an inpatient program, detox, a
halfway house or outpatient treatment.
Kathy Dwyer, associate executive director of
Behavioral Health Services, who helps
oversee 17 LSSI substance abuse treatment
programs, says that for each of those people
who have sought help, treatment has
touched three to four people in their lives as
well, or another 17,748 people.
22,819
[people touched by substance abuse treatment]
Recovery is not just for people who abuse or
are addicted to drugs and alcohol—recovery
is also for their families. While a person
with an addiction needs help, his or her
family needs help just as much. LSSI offers
significant opportunities to families for
education and information that will move
them, along with their loved ones, in a new
direction toward health and lasting change.
Don (far right) came to the LSSI’s Men’s
Residence North, a halfway house in Rogers
Park, Chicago, in June 2004. A father and
grandfather, a significant part of Don’s
recovery has been repairing relationships
with members of his family. “I was like a
hurricane going through their lives, leaving
a path of destruction,” Don says. “We’re
getting back together, getting closer. …I
can never thank this program enough. Lord
knows where I would have been if I hadn't

Maggy Raby says the families who use
LSSI’s Intouch Services “feel quite
comfortable that things are going to be
taken care of for their mom or dad.” Raby,
who manages LSSI’s Intouch Services in
Rockford, explains,“I think one of the things
that has been an absolute asset to the
community is our providing services that
allow seniors to stay in their own homes.”
Last year, 320 LSSI home care assistants
provided 300,000 hours of service to elderly
clients and their families in cities including
Chicago, Peoria and Rockford and the
surrounding areas. Whether it be
housekeeping, assisting with personal care
or providing transportation to medical
appointments or to visit a relative, LSSI
home care assistants provide a long list of
essential non-medical care. Home care
assistants provide companionship to their
300,000
[hours of companionship and help]
elderly clients and help families with the
sometimes heavy burden of caregiving. “You
do whatever you can to make clients feel
comfortable, safe and happy,” Raby explains.
Roger Lundstrom’s father, Ed, 94 (both at left),
lives at LSSI’s Peterson Meadows. Pleased
with the care Ed receives from Kim, his home
care assistant who works with him eight hours
each day, Roger says,“[home care assistants]
need to be personable. If you are that way,
you're not going to just park in a chair.You’re
going to interact and be a caregiver.”
✼✼✼9
Last year, 580 children found permanency
with the help of Lutheran Social Services of
Illinois (LSSI). Of this group, 231 children
were reunited with their families and 288
children in foster care were adopted. LSSI
also facilitated 61 agency adoptions, which
included 33 children who were adopted
internationally.
“Thanks to our incredibly dedicated staff and
the efforts of all of the families involved, we
have a fairly large number of children in foster
care who went home to their moms and
580
[children have secure, stable and permanent homes]
dads,” notes John Schnier, executive director
of LSSI’s Children’s Community Services.“It
shows that we're doing our job.”
Since its founding in 1867, LSSI has
committed itself to bring healing, justice and
wholeness to children.That promise includes
providing each child with a safe, secure and
loving place to grow and thrive. Over the
years, LSSI has been instrumental in helping
thousands of children find permanent homes
and caring families. Children who have
achieved permanency—whether through
adoption or reunification—tend to have more
promising futures and opportunities to develop
into healthy and productive people.

Residents of Washington Place, Beardstown,
and Dixon Group Home, Dixon—group
homes for adults with Prader-Willi
Syndrome—lost 120 pounds in 2004. During
the last five years, these individuals have lost
an amazing 841 pounds, total.
Prader-Willi is a rare chromosomal disorder
that causes a chronic feeling of hunger, some
borderline mental retardation and obesity.
LSSI’s group homes give people with PraderWilli a structured living environment that
enables them to lose weight, maintain their
health and live as independently as possible.
LSSI is the only human service agency in the
state of Illinois that offers group homes for
people with Prader-Willi. LSSI also offers
other services for children and adults with
developmental disabilities, providing
residential care in a variety of settings in
841
[pounds lost in five years]
Chicago, Homer Glen and Sterling.
“I like the residents, and I like my room
[and the] good staff—they treat us right,”
says Jerry Ingram, 48, a resident of
Washington Place (at left). Jerry has lost
148 pounds since moving to the group home
in 1991. “My favorite thing is going out in
the community,” he says, adding,“I like to
go to church and watch movies—oh, yeah,
[movies with] Roy Rogers. I got his picture
up in my room. He’s my TV star.”

AMICUS CERTUS
Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) honored Mary Nelson,
Ph.D., President and CEO of Bethel New Life, and the Rev. Dr.
Charles Infelt, pastor of Holy Family Lutheran Church and cofounder of Holy Family Ministries, at its 23rd Annual Amicus
Certus (True Friend) Dinner Dance on November 6, 2004. Every
year, LSSI gives the Amicus Certus award to individuals or
organizations that have made significant contributions to the
human community. Shown with Dr. Nelson and Pr. Infelt were
(from left) Nancy Nagel, president, LSSI Women’s Network; the
Rev. Dr. Frederick Aigner, president, LSSI; and (far right) Darlene
Jones, Amicus Certus chairperson.
“Mary Nelson and Chuck Infelt represent two of the finest
examples of faith-based community organizing that I am aware
of in all of America, not just our Lutheran Church or even the
state of Illinois,” says Pr. Aigner. “They are tough and savvy,
compassionate, persistent in pursuit of issues, connections and
dollars to enable the transformation of their respective
communities in West Garfield Park and Cabrini-Green.”
Hosted by the Women’s Network of LSSI, Amicus Certus raised
for
more than
LSSI programs.

one congregation in each of the
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. The award was designed to recognize congregations
that exhibit extraordinary leadership in identifying and
responding to needs in their communities. A panel of judges
selected St. John’s Lutheran Church, Springfield; Salem
Lutheran Church, Chicago; and Zion Lutheran Church,
Rockford, to receive the award.

meeting the needs of their communities,” says LSSI
President Frederick Aigner. “We recognize these
congregations’ remarkable contributions in bringing healing,
justice and wholeness to their respective communities and
are proud to partner with them.”
