LSSSC’s Ten-Year Comprehensive Initiative:
A Bold Vision. A Brighter Future.
Lutheran Social Services of Southern California believes in transforming lives and communities through faith and action. Our ambitious ten-year, $100 million campaign will create a Community Wellness Campus in every county where we serve, ensuring that no one in need is left behind. By expanding services to underserved populations, we will reach over 15 million people across Southern California—offering support, resources, and hope to those who need it most.
As the prophet Isaiah declared,
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isa. 43:19).
With this vision, we are making a way for brighter futures and revitalized communities.
Phase One: San Bernardino CWC
$45 Million
in collaboration with the City of San Bernardino and DignityMoves, is excited to announce a major milestone in the development of a Community Wellness Campus. This project, which began three years ago with the vision of creating wellness centers across Southern California, received a significant boost through Project Homekey’s approval of $34.9 million in funding. The Wellness Campus will offer critical services to enhance the quality of life for residents, fostering community well-being and strengthening San Bernardino’s bonds. This achievement is a result of strong partnerships, community support, and a shared commitment to improving lives for future generations.
Comprehensive Campaign – Phase 2
Continuing Our Mission of
Care and Community
As part of our ongoing commitment to transforming lives, Phase 2 of our comprehensive campaign seeks to raise $55 million to complete the Long Beach Community Wellness Campus (CWC) and expand to Orange, Riverside, Ventura, and San Diego counties. These centers will serve as “one-stop shops,” offering essential social services, housing assistance, medical care, and basic necessities, helping create healthier, more vibrant communities. With operational costs covered for the first two years, each site will impact thousands of people annually.
We are nearing the halfway point of our $100 million goal, and every contribution counts. Whether through multi-year pledges—like $25,000 paid over 5 years—or by honoring loved ones through naming opportunities, we invite individuals, churches, foundations, corporations, and civic groups to join us in this life-changing effort. Together, we can help build brighter futures for those in need.
