Perry Lutheran Homes loves a good party, especially when there’s something to celebrate. With that in mind, they will be holding an event this Thursday to recognize their recent LeadingEdge Care and Services award.

The award was given by LeadingAge Iowa, which annually recognizes an organization for the programs and services they provide that both benefit residents and serve as a model for innovation. The PLH Meaningful Mission Projects program was the focal point for the award, with activities designed to enrich the lives of residents such as: making bandages out of sheets that are used for healthcare in Africa; creating comfort crosses for victims of natural disasters; and packing food for Meals from the Heartland.

The celebration will be held Thursday, September 27th at 3 p.m. at the Perry Lutheran Homes Willis Avenue Campus. The public is invited to attend, and there will be free donuts and coffee provided.
