Dear Friends: 

Every day, life is new, and God calls us to love 

and care for one another. In a year, a lot of good 

happens at Lutheran Social Services of Illinois 

(LSSI). Through our work, many people are helped, 

supported, cared for and healed. And with LSSI’s 

help, many people take new steps to build and 

strengthen their lives. This past year, that love and care was 

extended to 108,000 men, women and children who reached out 

for our services in one way or another. 

Lutheran Social Services of Illinois • 2012 Annual Report 1

“See I am making all things new. . . to the thirsty I will give 

water as a gift from the spring of the waters of life.” 

Revelation 21: 5-6 

The demand for our services continues to grow as poverty becomes a larger burden for more 

and more people in our state and nation. Nearly 50 percent of the people we serve have incomes 

of less than $5,000, and almost 80 percent are below the poverty line, with the majority of those 

being children and seniors. The impact of chronic poverty on child development and the lives of 

families increases the demand and necessity for the quality services that we offer to people who 

need a helping hand to successfully participate in the life of our community. 

This call to love and care for one another happens every day at our agency. Whether it is a 

dedicated foster parent providing a stable and loving home for a child who has suffered abuse or 

neglect and separation from his birth family, a compassionate home care assistant who helps a 

senior maintain her life at home, or a wise counselor at one of our substance abuse programs who 

helps someone on the path to sobriety, this call – which is our mission – is answered. The thirsty 

are given water, and lives are made new. 

This past year has been difficult for our agency to financially sustain the breadth and quality of 

programs for people in need. It is only through the sacrificial contributions of the people and 

organizations listed here that we have not left any of the people who have called for help on the 

side of the road without assistance. In particular, the support of The Cornerstone Foundation has 

enabled us to sustain the critical work that we do. 


I am deeply thankful for the support that so many have contributed to Lutheran Social Services 

of Illinois. I invite you to join with me in celebrating our work of bringing healing, justice and 

wholeness to people and communities during this past year. 

In Faith and Gratitude, 

The Rev. Denver Bitner, D.Min. 

President/CEO

Rogers Park Head Start is a holistic 

early childhood education program, 

serving 54 children and their families 

on the north side of Chicago.

Agency Highlights 

Fiscal Year 2012 

Lutheran Social Services of 

Illinois (LSSI) served more than 

108,000 

people in Fiscal Year 2012 

through 190 programs at 

85 program sites across 

the state. LSSI serves many 

people living in poverty, with 

49 percent having annual 

incomes of less than $5,000. 

In 2012, LSSI’s Office of 

Church and Community 

Services (OCCS) launched its 

Hands@Work initiative, 

which offers church members 

and others numerous 

opportunities to “get their 

hands dirty” doing God’s work 

in their local communities. 

Through “Setting the Table” 

— part of Hands@Work — 

an LSSI facilitator walks 

members of a congregation 

through a deliberate 

discernment process intended 

to identify unmet local human 

needs and then to mobilize the 

congregation to respond to 

those needs. 

Last year, Prisoner & Family 

Ministry served 14,325 

people, including 8,419 

children of incarcerated 

parents; 963 caregivers 

(relatives who are caring for 

the children of incarcerated 

parents); 4,233 incarcerated 

men and women; and 

710 returning citizens — 

individuals leaving prison to 

return to the community and 

begin new lives.

Reentry Services, a program of LSSI’s 

Prisoner and Family Ministry, serves 

citizens returning to the community 

following incarceration.

On February 27, 2012, 

LSSI was licensed by the 

State of Illinois’ Division of 

Developmental Disabilities to 

operate a developmental 

training program on the 

campus of Shady Oaks, 

its residential program in 

Homer Glen for adults with 

developmental disabilities. 

Open five days a week, the 

program serves 30 individuals, 

helping them acquire skills that 

lead to more productive and 

fulfilling lives. 

Washington Place, a group home for adults 

with Prader-Willi syndrome in Beardstown, 

provides structure and a sense of family 

for the residents who live there. 

LSSI’s Rogers Park Children’s 

Center, with its culturally 

sensitive and diverse staff, 

is extremely popular in the 

community, as evidenced by 

a significant waiting list. The 

families whose 54 children 

attend LSSI’s Rogers Park 

Head Start site are from 

many areas of the world, 

including Africa, the Middle 

East, India, and South and 

Central America. Every family 

event held at the center is a 

beautiful display of colorful, 

traditional dress, music, 

languages and food from 

many cultures of the world. 

LSSI, which served 2,600 foster 

children in FY12, has made a 

commitment to providing 

trauma-informed training 

for its foster parents. The 

10-hour training program is 

designed to help foster parents 

develop an understanding of 

complex trauma and to be 

better prepared to respond 

effectively to the emotions and 

behaviors of foster children, 

who have experienced a great 

deal of trauma in their lives, 

including being separated from 

their birth parents. 

Since June 2010, 

192 

foster parents 

at LSSI have received the 

training and responded 

positively to it, impacting 

400-500 foster children. 

Says Marcia Weflen, associate 

executive director of LSSI’s 

Children’s Community 

Services, “We must offer this 

essential training so that our 

foster parents have a better 

understanding of how these 

children’s experiences impact 

their behavior, which increases 

their empathy and ability to 

see these children through the 

many difficult periods that 

arise in their lives.” 


In July 2012, LSSI 

implemented the first phase 

of CareLogic, an Electronic 

Health Record System, 

the result of a collaboration 

of its Mental Health Services, 

Information Systems and 

Finance departments. LSSI’s 

SASS and Project HOPE 

programs (crisis intervention 

and life skills programs for 

children and youth), as well 

as psychiatrists at LSSI’s 

Portage Cragin Counseling 

Center in Chicago, are now 

using CareLogic as the 

primary client record-keeping 

system. The new system 

helps workers comply with 

ever-changing federal and 

state requirements. CareLogic 

makes staff more efficient and 

helps them provide better care 

to clients. 

LSSI’s Intouch Home Care 

Services provides non-medical 

assistance to help older 

adults maintain their lives 

at home. Trained home care 

assistants help individuals with 

personal care, home care, meal 

preparation and other tasks of 

daily living. In FY12, Intouch 

grew by 6.6 percent from 

the previous year, serving 

1,949 

seniors in many Illinois counties 

through its offices in Metro 

Chicago, DeKalb, Rockford, 

Peoria, Canton, Freeport and 

Moline. 

LSSI provides affordable 

housing and services 

to low-income seniors 

and disabled adults at 20 

different sites throughout 

Illinois. During FY12, 1,599 

individuals were served by 

LSSI’s program, funded by 

HUD, enabling them to reside 

comfortably in their own 

apartments. 

On October 11, 2012, LSSI 

broke ground on its newest 

senior housing site — Gable 

Point Senior Housing — 

in Crystal Lake. Located on 

three acres, the Victorianstyle 

Gable Point will offer 

59 affordable one-bedroom 

apartments for low-income 

seniors aged 62 years and 

older. The project began 

five years ago when LSSI 

discovered the need for 

affordable housing in the 

community — there were 

3,800 seniors in the area 

whose income was at the 

poverty level. The project is 

expected to be completed in 

the fall of 2013.

LSSI served 2,600 foster children in 

FY12. While the goal of foster care is to 

reunite children with their birth families, 

some children, like this little boy, are 

adopted by their foster parents.

LSSI Honors Kent P. Dauten with 

2012 Amicus Certus Award 

Kent P. Dauten received the 2012 Amicus Certus 

(“True Friend”) Award at the 31st Annual Amicus Certus 

Celebration on November 10, 2012. “Over the last two 

decades, Kent has made a tremendous impact on the 

work of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois,” says The 

Rev. Denver Bitner, D.Min, LSSI president/CEO. “He has 

helped to sustain programs serving people in need that 

have been at the heart of our work for many years.” 

The Amicus Certus Award is given annually to 

individuals or organizations that have made significant 

contributions to the human community. Dauten served on LSSI’s Board of 

Directors from 1992 to 1998, including as chair from 1996-1998, and is a 

managing director of Keystone Capital, Inc., a private equity investment firm 

and entrepreneurial holding company that he founded in 1994. 

The 2012 Amicus Certus Celebration, hosted by the Women’s Network 

of LSSI, raised more than $100,000 for LSSI’s services for people in need 

throughout the state. For more on Kent Dauten, visit www.LSSI.org.

Illinois National Guard Receives 

2012 Paul Simon Courage in Public 

Service Award 

The 2012 Paul Simon Courage in Public Service Award was presented to 

the men and women serving in the Illinois National Guard during 2012 Lutheran 

Day activities in Springfield. The award recognizes Illinois public officials who 

demonstrate a commitment to just, compassionate and responsible public policy. 

Brig. Gen. Robert Pratt, director of the joint staff for the Illinois National Guard, 

accepted the award from The Rev. Daniel Schwick, LSSI’s vice president of church 

and community services, which is given by organizations that sponsor Lutheran 

Day. Schwick said, “We are honored to present the Paul Simon Courage in Public 

Service Award to the Illinois National Guard, who have shown courage and integrity 

in facing their various missions.”
