The Senate Resolution celebrates over 160 years of Lutheran Services in Iowa, which began as the Lutheran Children's Home for Orphans of the Civil War in 1864. The organization has consistently worked to meet the health and human services needs of Iowans through various programs, including early childhood education, mental health services, and support for families involved in adoption and foster care. With over 350 employees and multiple locations across 17 counties, Lutheran Services in Iowa has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of children and families throughout the state.

In recognition of its contributions, the Senate honors Lutheran Services in Iowa and encourages Iowans to support its mission of helping children, families, and newcomers thrive. The resolution designates March 11, 2025, as Lutheran Services in Iowa Day, acknowledging the organization's ongoing commitment to compassionate service and its vital role in enhancing the economic and social well-being of the state.
