We will all remember 2020 for the impact the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic had on our lives. At SpiriTrust Lutheran®, we also will remember 2020 as the year of selfless giving. We are grateful to the champions who provided care to those we serve, the donors who supported both our ongoing needs and our pandemic response effort and the volunteers who patiently awaited a return to the vital roles they serve in our life plan communities and hospice program.
