Over the past two weeks, our LSI Foster Care and Adoption team was honored to help spread holiday joy through Operation Santa 🎄

Together with our partners at Four Oaks, Foster SQUAD, local community organizations, and dedicated HHS volunteers, we provided gifts and hosted festive parties for children in foster, adoptive, and kinship placements across Western Iowa.

Thank you to everyone who made these celebrations in Carroll, Sioux City, Spencer, and Council Bluffs so special! 💙

🎄❤️ The spirit of the season was truly felt through our Early Childhood Christmas Drive!

This year in Davenport and Clinton, the drive supported 68 families and 176 children across Scott, Clinton, and Jackson counties. Each family also received a brand-new quilt, adding extra warmth and comfort this holiday season.

This impact was made possible through the generosity of our local Lutheran church partners and the incredible dedication of our staff, who worked tirelessly to organize, assemble, and distribute these items to families.

Thank you all for helping make the holidays brighter for so many. ✨

We are incredibly grateful to Slumberland Furniture and the Iowa Knights of Columbus for their generous donation of 70 twin beds, frames, food, and other essential items to support LSI clients.

Thanks to Slumberland’s generosity and the Knights of Columbus’ time and care in delivering and setting up each bed, many individuals and families served by LSI will now have a safe, comfortable place to rest.
