Orange County
Located in the city of Fullerton, LSS Orange County, serves more than 200 families and individuals per month with emergency and social services. When possible, clients are paired with a caseworker to address the more systemic and prevailing needs of the individual. We also partner with local churches, to support families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and facilitate local collections for Lutheran World Relief Quilt distribution.
Mission
Ignited by faith, we live out God’s love by embracing, equipping, and empowering vulnerable individuals, families & communities toward self-sufficiency.
Vision
Sharing the love of Christ, we are a community to care and be cared for…where the vulnerable are safer and stronger; where the dependent are self-sustaining; where the isolated dwell in community; where the weary will be given hope.

Cynthia’s Story
Cynthia is a mother of three boys and one girl, all under the age of eleven. She ran away from an abusive husband in Georgia, and came to the West Coast looking for a new life.
