Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota

We are neighbors helping neighbors – Minnesotans working together to inspire hope, change lives and build community. For nearly 160 years, LSS has been a trusted partner to our neighbors, helping provide compassionate services that help individuals and families reach their potential. But we can’t do it alone. 

This year, your gift will go twice as far, thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000 provided by Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester and a generous LSS supporter. Please take this opportunity to double the impact of your gift by giving — either on this site or at donate.lssmn.org — to ensure that LSS services remain strong today and for years to come.  

Your generosity and partnership with LSS enabled us to positively affect our neighbors and achieve these incredible outcomes last year:

• More than 42,000 individuals were supported by LSS Services for Children, Youth and Families. These services include housing assistance, supportive resources for families, mental health services for veterans, and many more. 
• Almost 4,000 individuals and families were supported in maintaining healthy and balanced lifestyles through their partnership with LSS Caregiver and Companion Services.  
• LSS Meals served more than 1,570,000 meals to support the health and well-being of older adults across Minnesota, helping neighbors live as independently as they choose as they age.  
• More than 10,000 individuals and families partnered with LSS Services for People with Disabilities and were empowered to shape and live the lives they imagine for themselves.   
• 194 children and youth found safety and stability through LSS Therapeutic Foster Care, a service committed to strengthening individuals and families to promote resiliency.  
• LSS Refugee Services welcomed 905 individuals and families to Minnesota, helping our newest neighbors secure housing, enroll in classes, find employment and connect with the support they need to gain self-sufficiency.

Please celebrate this Give to the Max Day by supporting our vision that aldonate.lssmn.orgl people have the opportunity to live and work in community with 

full and abundant lives.
