Meet the Nelsons, Members of LSSI’s Giving Program
Through their professions as Lutheran clergy, educators, missionaries, and volunteers, Pr. David and Claudia Nelson have worked nationally and internationally, witnessing the difference individuals make in their communities. “It’s part of our Christian faith to give as we receive,” David said. As they deepened their commitment to supporting this work, they became members of The Inspired, LSSI’s monthly giving program.

Retiring in 2006, the Dixon couple sought out Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) as an organization that could make a difference statewide and in their community. They began making charitable contributions to LSSI. Maintaining a busy volunteer schedule is an extension of that generosity. “We’re in our senior years and can’t become foster parents, but we can help support those who are,” said Claudia, a retired teacher who continues to volunteer teaching English Language Learners. Drawing from his experience as a retired pastor and nonprofit administrator, David said monthly giving helps nonprofit organizations budget better for programs. “LSSI staff is the glue that holds it all together,” David said. “We are inspired by them—inspired to give. We don’t do the work, but we appreciate those who do.”
