The Christmas season reminds us of the joy found in giving and the difference a simple act of kindness can make.
At the Lutheran Home, we strive to make the holidays special for everyone on our campus, especially for the more than 200 seniors in our Assisted Living and Skilled Care communities. Through the generosity of others, we provide gifts, everyday essentials, and thoughtful surprises that bring comfort and Christmas cheer to the residents that mean so much to us.
Help us share the joy of Christmas! Whether you “Adopt a Resident” and fulfill their wishlist or make a monetary donation, your kindness helps make the season brighter.
If you choose to “Adopt a Resident” and would like to get a wishlist and bring a gift, click the button below and it will prompt you with an email where your resident will be assigned. We ask that you bring gifts unwrapped and in a gift bag so we can label items.
For all monetary donations, follow the link below. Thank you for your generous hearts that will make our residents’ holiday season bright.
Please bring unwrapped gifts to reception at the Main Entrance of the Lutheran Home by December 1st.
Each year at the Lutheran Home, generous community members support our efforts to provide each resident with holiday gifts.

Financial Donations
All proceeds go to the Footprints in Faith Foundation and will be used to provide special holiday gifts for our residents.
Your financial contributions allow our team to purchase personalized gifts for residents – things they truly want or need. This is especially important for our residents who have no family nearby, and for whom the holidays can be lonely. The Lutheran Home is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and your financial gift is tax exempt. Donations can be made at any time, and 100% of your donations will go toward gifts and resident needs.
If you’d prefer to send in a donation, please send it to:
