About Us

Since 1970, Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest has provided essential services in Arizona. We stabilize people during crisis and transition, build a foundation where people can thrive, and preserve dignity and respect for the most vulnerable.
We serve older adults and people with disabilities, children and families, those experiencing hunger and homelessness, and refugees and immigrants. Dozens of community organizations, faith-based groups, and hundreds of other volunteers partner with us to serve our community.
The organization serves people in Maricopa, Pima, Santa Cruz, and Cochise counties and has an annual budget of $18 million, funded from public, private, and charitable sources.
Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and an Arizona Qualifying Charity.
