Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio (LSS) food pantries serve the community by providing food to individuals and families in need. We are called to serve those who are hungry and in need. Our customers are often no different from you or I. They are mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers. They are working adults who may have difficulty paying rent, utilities or other household expenses. They simply need assistance to make ends meet. Last year alone LSS food pantries served 97,719 people! We are serving more people this year than during the same time last year. Our need is great and growing.
