Fostering resiliency, self-sufficiency and access to opportunities for immigrants, refugees and local youth in the DMV.
About us
Since 1917, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA), a human services and immigration relief and refugee welcome agency, has accompanied those in need throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the Washington D.C. metro area to foster resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities by creating, connecting with, and engaging welcoming communities. Motivated daily by our belief in the inherent dignity of all, LSSNCA’s innovative participant-informed programs serve refugees, forced migrants, immigrants, children and youth, and underserved communities by filling in the gaps. Piloting initiatives like the area’s first camp for kids impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis, originating local pro se asylum workshops for Afghan Allies, launching a Resource Center to serve as a community hub for all recently arrived program participants, and backing an array of ongoing mental health support services, alongside community partners, LSSNCA strives to create an inclusive community of well-being where people thrive.

In the time of need, the most comfort can come from your family. Unfortunately, families who’ve recently resettled find transportation to be an obstacle. At LSSNCA, we want to help families grow stronger together. Your support can help ensure access to medical treatment - and the best medicine there sometimes is, a hug and love from your family.
