Overview
History
Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota traces its history to 1865 when a young Swedish pastor named Eric Norelius and his congregation took in four orphaned immigrant children and later opened Vasa Lutheran Home for Children.
Today
LSS is the largest, statewide non-profit social service organization in Minnesota with over 2,200 employees who serve in 300 communities. It is owned by the six Minnesota synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Services include:
- Services for Children and Youth
- Services for Families and Adults
- Services for Seniors
- Services for People with Disabilities
Primary funding sources include ELCA and other church support, contracts for service, client fees, local United Way support, private grants, individual contributions and bequests. The 2008 budget is $75.2 million.
