Lutheran Social Services Southern California

Lutheran Social Services of Southern California has a legacy of meeting the needs of the vulnerable in our communities since 1946. We unite with individuals, churches, businesses, civic leaders, government agencies and other stakeholders for one goal; breaking the cycle of poverty one family at a time. Lutheran Social Services of Southern California has committed itself to serving and loving its neighbors through three key philosophies. They are to embrace those in crisis with short-term, emergency services, to equip individuals and families with program resources to help them on their journey, and to empower people to break the cycle of poverty, live with dignity, and become self-sufficient. Where we find ourselves blessed, be it in economy, be it in time, or be it in resources, we should look to help the next person who may be in need of blessing. For nearly 75 years, our non-profit social services agency also known as LSS Southern California has served the community by fostering humanitarian efforts and goodwill and has grown into a flourishing organization of faithful, dedicated, passionate volunteers and employees.
