"The kids will be able to take
pride in where they live, even
though it may not be home.
There will be a much safer
setup which will allow staff
to better take care of the
children"
-Lutherwood Staff member
HOPE FOR THOSE WHO HURT "...serving
human needs with the support of church and community"
In a world with too much hurt and too little hope,
kids and families suffer the most. Too often, the most vulnerable have
the greatest need but the fewest resources. Lutheran Child & Family Services
of Indiana/Kentucky is working to give hope a new home.
For children who have been abused or neglected, Lutheran Child & Family
Services provides a home. For families in crisis, the focus is on preserving
the family. We have begun a journey to build new facilities that offer
stability, hope and a positive environment for children and families in
need.
Help us create a place that fosters healing - help us give hope a home.
