Lutheran Social Services of the Greater Charleston Area, Inc. (LSS) began as a humble soup kitchen and clothes closet in 1983 by several Lutheran and Methodist churches in the Tricounty area. This was the beginning of an incredible ministry.
Over the years we added clothing distribution, home-bound meal delivery, and food pantry. We have served over 6. 3 million services to date. However, we realize that solving the problem of poverty goes much deeper than simply providing basic needs. Tricounty Family Ministries addresses the cyclical causes of poverty and abuse as clients come to our center for basic needs, but they can take advantage of complete life-changing programs geared to move those in crisis to self-sustainability.
