Lutheran Social Services of New York (LSSNY) is a nonprofit community organization that has been strengthening lives, families, and communities for over 125 years. With dedicated staff, committed volunteers, and supportive congregations and communities, LSSNY is able to collaborate with individuals, families, and leaders to dismantle the causes and effects of persistent poverty and social injustice. LSSNY offers a range of services to support various needs in the community.

They provide support for early life, focusing on the health, education, and well-being of children and families. Additionally, LSSNY offers supportive housing that goes beyond just providing shelter. They also have food pantries that serve approximately 15,000 food-insecure families in Nassau County and New York City, helping to prevent hunger in the community.

Furthermore, LSSNY provides nurturing and supportive environments for children and young mothers in foster care. They also assist immigrants and refugees by offering representation, legal advice, and community outreach services throughout New York City. In addition, LSSNY operates the New LIFE School, where the curriculum is tailored to fit the needs of the students.
