I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there can be any kindness I can show, or any
good things I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now, and not defer it or neglect it, as I
shall not pass this way again. ―William Penn
There is no time like the present. As many ways as there are to phrase this important message, the
meaning is clear. The time to make a difference is now. The role of Lutheran Social Services is to offer
help, healing, and hope to children in treatment centers and foster homes, to seniors experiencing difficult transitions, to those in financial and emotional crisis, and to the victims of natural disasters. And
to provide our services in a timely manner. Today, not tomorrow. Tomorrow, rather than next year.
This past fiscal year [April 2009 through March 2010], your contributions and commitment made it
possible for Lutheran Social Services to give hope, shelter, and a helping hand to thousands of children
and families throughout Texas. Combined with a visionary board, amazing staff, and loving volunteers,
LSS was able to make an impact well beyond the walls of our offices, senior facilities, and treatment
centers.
It was a productive and dynamic year for our organization. Today, as LSS faces the future with reduced
State revenue, we are being asked to do more with fewer resources. The need for private support becomes a critical factor in guaranteeing that our work continues in its full scope. But there is no doubt
that we will continue to serve the thousands who depend on LSS, improving lives and changing futures
in the process.
Thank you for your time, talent, and treasure. We look forward to enhancing our
shared partnership in ministry as collectively we continue to provide help, healing, and hope in the name of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Kurt Senske, Chief Executive Officer Allison K. Mull, Chair, LSS Board of Directors
Children’s Services: It’s About the Kids
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has
borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms
of my hands.
―Isaiah 49:15-16a
Foster In Texas (FIT)
Providing stable, loving homes for the more than 900 children in LSS foster care who have been removed
from their biological homes requires exceptional families and dedicated staff. Meeting the demand for
foster homes qualified to care for primary medical needs children, sibling groups, and teens continues to
be our greatest challenge. To alleviate this need and to recruit and serve more foster homes, LSS opened
new offices in Bryan-College Station and The Woodlands-Conroe area.
Adoption – Here & Abroad
We believe adoption is “a match made in heaven.” Adoption is the outcome we often pray for as we consider the best interest of the child, alongside the families whose lives we so closely touch. Since the 1940s,
LSS has placed more than 7,400 children in adoptive homes.
We first became involved in international adoptions in the 1960s, and this past year LSS explored some
possibilities for expanding our international adoption outreach into new countries. The results of that
exploration will come to fruition during the 2010-2011 year.
Our domestic adoption program applies to Texas only. LSS helps families adopt children through the Texas
Department of Protective and Family Services foster care system, the Heart Gallery of Central Texas, and
Wendy’s Wonderful Kids™, the signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
LSS also coordinates adoption plans through our Unplanned Pregnancy Services, providing individual
counseling, support, and resources to help birth parents explore their choices.
In 2009 LSS facilitated 202 domestic adoptions and 61 international adoptions, treated
491 children in three residential treatment centers, and provided emergency shelter to 311
children.
Residential Children’s Treatment Centers – From Tough Times to a Brighter Future
Our residential treatment centers provide safe havens for children who need a fresh start and renewed hope. Here, those kids are given a place to heal from the past. Their physical, emotional, and
educational needs are met, and for many it is the first time, the first place, they have ever felt truly
safe.
At the centers, the children receive on-site education through Trinity Charter Schools, and participate in activities that range from athletics, fine arts programs, dance classes, field trips, and community-centered programs.
• Bokenkamp Children’s Shelter, located in Corpus Christi, is an emergency shelter that houses
80-85 unaccompanied refugee children (from infants to teens) from Central and South America.
Separated from their families in often tragic circumstances, these children receive medical assistance, case management, counseling, bilingual education and computer skills, help searching
for family members, and spiritual support.
• Krause Children’s Center, located just outside Houston in Katy, serves troubled boys and girls
aged 11 to 17. Most of the children have been removed from their homes due to extreme physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. In an environment of trust and hope, they begin their road to
emotional and spiritual wellness.
1
Residential Children’s Treatment Centers (continued)
• Nelson Children’s Center in Denton provides residential treatment and special programs for more than
100 severely emotionally disturbed girls and boys (ages 6 to 15) each year. Opportunities for individual
enrichment include family counseling, structured activities and a voluntary spiritual care program.
• New Life Children’s Center in Canyon Lake is a home in the hill country for young girls (ages 11 to 17)
who are survivors of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Funds raised this past year have made the
construction of a new 20-bed dormitory possible, with a move-in date scheduled for fall 2010.
BeREAL (Ready, Educated, Accomplished Leaders), a pilot program in New Orleans, was
officially launched by LSS in early 2010. BeREAL addresses directly a problem that has garnered
nationwide attention: the plight, and often bleak futures, of children aging out of foster care.
National studies have shown that children without a permanent placement when they reach 18
are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, and twice as likely as the general
population to be incarcerated.
BeREAL transition services are provided (to children ages 13-25) in the old Bethlehem gym, now a
restored BeREAL program facility. With the support and help of community volunteers and mentors, more teens in foster care can experience hopeful futures.
Senior Services
To age with grace, it becomes increasingly important to have support to manage the transitions that will inevitably occur. As a person’s physical condition changes, the desire to maintain
independence, choice, and self worth continues. To this end, Lutheran Social Services operates
five retirement communities, an adult day center, and our Care-Connect senior care management
program.
LSS provides customer-oriented communities and supportive services to meet the needs and
desires of the elderly as our society transitions from a country of youth to a nation of maturity.
Services include the full range of senior care:
Independent Living
Copperfield Village, Victoria
Kruse Village, Brenham
Trinity Place Apartments, Round Rock
The Village at Gleannloch Farms, Spring
LSS manages four independent living
facilities, three assisted living facilities,
two skilled nursing facilities, and two
adult day care centers that collectively
served more than 1,000 persons.
Assisted Living
Kruse Village LaRoche Manor, Brenham
The Village at Gleannloch Farms, Spring
Wedgewood South, Lubbock
Skilled Nursing, Memory Care
Kruse Village, Brenham
The Village at Gleannloch Farms, Spring
Buena Vida Adult Day Centers
Last year, the two Buena Vida Adult Day Centers in El Paso served 240 low-income elderly and disabled persons, nearly half of whom have Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related illnesses. Buena Vida’s services allow
participants to live with their families, rather than move to a nursing home.
Care-Connect
Eldercare issues can be daunting and complex. Through Care-Connect, a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) helps
seniors and their caretakers by making thorough assessments and coordinating medical and home-care services. Established in December 2008, Care-Connect has steadily built its clientele and has served hundreds of
seniors throughout Central and East Texas. Care-Connect is expanding into Home Care in Fall 2010.

Helping Our Friends In Need
Lending assistance during tough times and financial crisis comes down to helping those in need with life’s
basics and giving them access to health care. Two LSS-Lubbock ministries serve this population by distributing food and utility vouchers, hygiene products and prescriptions, diapers and baby formula, sack lunches
for the homeless, and health services for uninsured patients.
Neighborhood House, in its 43rd year, is unique to Lubbock County, providing emergency assistance for
those at poverty level or below with food and other necessities of life. Neighborhood House served more
than 100,500 individuals in the Lubbock area last year, and distributed more than 62 tons of food and hygiene products.
Health for Friends Clinic is a valuable resource for those who would not otherwise have access to health
care. Nurses made 11,000+ patient contacts at the clinic and 19 outreach sites this past year, performing
health screenings and one-on-one support for clients at risk for chronic health problems such as diabetes.
Disaster Response: Rebuilding Communities & Families
The Recovery for Ike Survivors Enterprise (RISE) disaster case management program continues to offer
help, support, and advocacy for Hurricane Ike victims. RISE has connected more than 7,500 households to
an array of available support and assistance―helping survivors achieve their disaster recovery goals as they
move toward full recovery from Hurricane Ike. RISE continues to successfully target and serve special needs
populations, as we attempt to reach those most vulnerable.
In February 2010, Lutheran Social Services Disaster Response (LSSDR) was awarded a $10.7 million Social
Services Block Grant (SSBG), funded by the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) to provide unmet
needs funds for survivors of Hurricane Ike in 10 counties: Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Walker and Waller.
Funds from the SSBG grant are being distributed through local long-term recovery committees to address
the ongoing needs of Ike survivors.
During the hurricane season LSSDR stands ready to respond, to provide both immediate and long-term assistance in Texas and Louisiana as needed.
Spiritual Care: Healing Through Faith
We believe that for true healing to occur, spiritual needs – as well as physical and emotional needs –
must be addressed. Meeting the needs of the most vulnerable in these three areas is the cornerstone of
what we do, influencing what we stand for each and every day.
The Stephen Ministry program has been introduced at all of our residential programs, offering children,
families, older adults, and our volunteers opportunities for increased spiritual growth on a voluntary basis.
LSS is the first multi-site organization to implement this renowned program.
As a faith-based organization, spiritual care is a fundamental component of our ministry – and hope and
spiritual nurturing are integral components of each of our programs. We are privileged to be a spiritual
resource for those most in need across Texas and Louisiana.
Community-based programs of health screening and monitoring, as well as assistance for
the homeless and low-income, served 12,084 persons in 2009.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.”
―Margaret Mead
You are a Major Part of Our Success – Benefits & Fundraisers
This was a great year for celebrations! Our Agency Advancement team went above and beyond to hold some
very successful events. Here is a little about each of them:
Spring Fling (June 5, 2009) The 18th Annual “Spring Fling” held at McPherson Cellars Winery in downtown
Lubbock, raised more than $XX,000 for LSS ministries on the South Plains. The annual fundraiser benefits Lubbock area services, including Neighborhood House, Health for Friends Clinic, Wedgewood South, and LSS Foster
Care and Adoption Services.
Change a Life at Bokenkamp (October 17, 2009), The 18th Annual Fashion Show & Luncheon at the Omni
Bayfront Hotel in Corpus Christi showcased tasty food and the latest fashions, all to benefit our emergency children’s shelter.
Make a Difference – “La Vie Nouvelle” (February 13, 2010) The 11th Annual “Make a Difference” gala was held
at the Austin Music Hall, and featured a live performance by singer/songwriter Guy Forsyth. Together we raised
over $160,000, helping to create a brighter future for troubled girls at New Life Children’s Center.
¡Celebre La Buena Vida! (March 25, 2010) This was the 6th Annual celebration of Buena Vida, Texas’s first
adult day centers. The event was held at the Camino Real Hotel in El Paso, and featured the auction of more than
80 wooden houses hand-painted and decorated by El Paso’s best-known artists, all coming together in support
of Buena Vida.
Tomorrow’s Child Golf Benefits raise money through the generosity of both sponsors and golfers. All
funds raised by the golfers in the Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio, and Houston areas goes directly toward
our foster care programs and the children of Krause, Nelson, and New Life Children’s Centers.

A Message of Thanks
You are helping Lutheran Social Service help others. None of the services LSS provides
to 46,000 individuals each year could occur without your prayers, your volunteer energy,
and your financial support. Because of your commitment, lives are being saved, rescued,
and forever changed, each and every day.
So many organizations, churches, committees, and individuals support and partner with
LSS, together building a strong foundation and tradition of serving those in need. It is
through these partnerships that we help children, families, elderly, and disaster victims
improve the quality of their lives.
Ways to help and give are as individual as the people we serve. Your gifts this past year
have taken many forms: cash donations, charitable gift annuities, and planned legacies.
Each and every donation helps the world become a better place for all.
As St. Paul wrote to the Corinthian followers of Christ, “This service that you perform is
not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of
thanks to God,” (2 Corinthians 9:12)
In this Annual Report we celebrate the lives that were touched and those who opened
their hands and hearts to help LSS grow in service. Inspired by the compassion of Christ,
together we will continue to bring help, healing, and hope into the lives of thousands.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
In His Service,
David M. Kahle
