Benevolent Care
Help when there seems no hope
N
o matter how hard we try to save money for life’s
unexpected twists and turns, there are times when we
have to make choices. There are times we have to do without.
And there are times we just can’t do without.
Consider the older woman who has been in a senior living
community for many years and has exhausted her financial
resources. Or the family being pulled apart that cannot afford to
receive counseling with their hurting teenage son. Or the child
in an economically challenged neighborhood of Baltimore who
needs care while his mother works, but whose family’s budget
doesn’t provide for
child-care costs.
Or the child with
special needs who
desperately needs
a home, but whose
potential adoptive
family needs
assistance with
related costs.
Diakon Lutheran
Social Ministries
won’t let these
people down.
Each month, Diakon provides more than $1 million in
benevolent care to members of the communities in which we
live, to people experiencing the situations described, and to
many others. But it takes many gracious and generous people
to make such care possible.
One couple willing to do more than their share is Earl and
Shirley Mutter of Boyertown, Pa. Their generous donation
of stocks to Diakon are benefiting the Benevolent Care Fund
at The Lutheran Home at Topton, a Diakon Senior Living
Community in Topton, Pa.
“I used to go to Anniversary Day as a child, when they had
the orphans,” says Shirley. “They would put on shows. Our
church would participate,” she recalls. “I remember seeing all
those little people. A lot of them were infants then. I remember
my mother used to say, ‘they don’t have moms and dads
like you do.’ ”
Because of their long history in the area, the Mutters chose
to make their gift specifically to Topton’s Benevolent Care Fund.
“We give because there is a need for funding, and we are able
to help,” says Shirley. “We enjoy seeing what giving accomplishes.
We can go back there and see the good things that are happening.”
“The benefits will be there forever,” Earl agrees. “It’s a
wonderful legacy to leave behind.”
You can help Diakon provide benevolent care to those in need
by sending a donation in the enclosed envelope. Your gift will
make a difference!
We give because there is
a need for funding, and
Shirley and Earl Mutter
we are able to help…
we can go back there
and see the good things
that are happening.

Diakon: A testament to service and generous giving since 1868
It was perhaps no accident that the Rev. Phillip Willard served
the Lutheran parish in Loysville, Pa., between 1856 and
1858. There, he surely became acquainted with the “classical
academy” being operated by the Tressler family, who would
reconfigure their small institution into a soldiers’ orphans
home at the close of the Civil War.
In early 1867, Willard returned to Loysville with an attorney
and a mission of making the orphans home an institution of
the church. That dream came true the following year with the
sale of the property—eventually to be known as the Tressler
Lutheran Home for Children—to the church.
Named the first superintendent of the children’s home,
Willard nevertheless spent most of the next year on
the road raising some $4,000 to equip the home for its
mission of serving “poor orphan children … [supplying]
their temporal wants … [educating] them physically,
intellectually, morally, and religiously … and … extend[ing]
over them a wholesome guardianship.”
Nearly three decades later, concerned as well about orphaned
children, members of the church’s then-Reading Conference
elected a board of trustees and set about raising funds to
purchase land to establish “The Lutheran Orphans’ Home
in Berks County, Pennsylvania.” Eventually, the institution
would be known as The Lutheran Home at Topton.
The home’s first superintendent, the Rev. Uriah P.
Heilman, on a summer morning in 1897, undertook
the groundbreaking himself, digging up several
wheelbarrow loads of dirt, making the excavation in
the shape of a cross.
Both homes for children began in response to need,
and grew as the direct result of generous donations
given by individuals, congregations, community groups,
and businesses.
While much has changed—with both Tressler and Topton,
continued today by Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries,
growing over the years to serve not only children but also
families and older adults—the mandate to meet people’s
needs has not.
Nor has the pivotal role generous donors play in helping
to make possible those services to children and youth,
families and individuals, and older adults. Each year, as
the result of efficient operations, the legacy of donors past,
and the generosity of donors present, Diakon provides
more than $1 million a month in benevolent care—making
care possible to many who could not otherwise afford it.
Helping to assure Diakon can continue to provide such
charitable care is the role of the Diakon Lutheran Fund
Board of Directors. The board, composed of individuals
with a range of financial, business, and organizational
backgrounds, oversees a variety of funds—totaling
approximately $20 million—whose purpose is to generate
income for services to children and families.
Having their genesis in gifts given over the years to The
Lutheran Home at Topton and the Tressler Lutheran Home
for Children, these funds are critical to assuring adoption
for waiting children, counseling for families in crisis, day
care for inner-city children, charitable care for older adults,
and much more.
Only through growth of these funds, whose income
supports so many programs, will Diakon be able to meet
the growing needs of people throughout Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Delaware.
