Innkeeper Society/Innkeeper Legacy Society
The Foundation has established the Innkeeper Society to recognize donors who are servant leaders in supporting this ministry with older adults and hospice patients.  The Innkeeper Society takes its name from the innkeeper in Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan, who became a partner in providing for the needs of the man found lying beaten at the side of the road. 

Donors who contribute $250 or more or volunteer 100 or more hours in a calendar year are recognized as Annual Members.  Donors who have contributed a total of $10,000 or 1,000 volunteer hours are recognized as Lifetime Members.  Members of the Innkeeper Society are honored at annual appreciation events.

The Innkeeper Legacy Society honors living friends of Lutheran Homes of South Carolina who plan to leave a legacy of care for older adults and hospice patients through a will, trust, life insurance policy, annuity or other planned gift.
