History

Established in 1974.

LCSA was built upon a partnership between the United Way and AFL – CIO to provide outreach and referral services to members throughout the community. Over time, the agency developed programs to address emerging needs not being met by other non-​profits. This allowed organized labor to establish a presence in the social-​service arena and continue serving the most vulnerable in the community. Its mission statement cited the organization’s purpose: «To serve the less fortunate in the community and to advocate for health and human services that meet the needs of all members of the community, especially the most vulnerable and dependent.» LCSA’s years of service to the community illustrates our commitment to those who need assistance the most. In 1974 LCSA operated one program, today the organization proudly supports eight different social service programs in the community.

Meet the Manager

Jake S.

Manager

I am proud to be part of a unique organization where working families can find the support they need to become self-​sufficient and economically independent. Since becoming the Executive Director in 2012, I’ve been blessed to witness the immeasurable self validation a client a client feels after accomplishing a goal that he or she didn’t think was possible; the pride of a client driving away in his or her own car; the relief of a homeowner who avoided foreclosure; and the self determination to end the cycle of homelessness. I am humbled by the growing needs of our community but grateful to the staff’s dedication, community partnerships, collaborations, and support that make it all possible.
