Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio (LSSCO) has restructured to help continue our mission of creating a better world by serving people in need.  Effective July 1, 2008, LSSCO will encompass three separate divisions: LSS of Northern Ohio, LSS of Southern Ohio and LSS of Greater Columbus.  Each division will operate under the umbrella of LSSCO and will work to better serve people in need throughout Ohio. 

Everyday, Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio (LSS) helps thousands of people in need throughout 39 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of hunger, housing, healing and hope.  Organized in 1912, LSS was founded to carry on general charitable and religious work and continues to serve that very purpose today.  Through food pantries, homeless shelters, senior living residences, affordable housing communities and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities, LSS is continuing its mission of creating a better world by serving people in need.
