Lutheran Social Services, National Capital Area
Since 1917, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA), a human services, immigration relief and refugee welcome agency, has accompanied families throughout the DMV to foster resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities.
