Lutheran Services of Florida

LSF is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving those most vulnerable members of our communities by providing life-changing human services to all people regardless of age, background, or belief system. 

LSF is transforming lives by ensuring safe children, strong families, and vibrant communities. Founded in 1982, LSF currently touches the lives of 1 in 50 Floridians every year through various programs, including early education, youth shelters, foster care, refugee and resettlement services, substance abuse mental health services, and adult guardianship. Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, LSF has more than 60 programs throughout Florida and approximately 1,200 dedicated employees.

We believe we must remain vigilant in improving our ability to help our clients get the resources they need. We must ensure that our organization lives up to our mission and values – and that we are making a genuine, and constructive, impact in the communities we serve. We must start by taking great care of our people so that they are empowered and motivated to meet the disparate needs of our clients.

Lutheran Services Florida serves to bring God’s healing, hope and help to people in need in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Through our work, we help communities build healthier, happier, and hope-filled futures.
