LFCS has been in the business of growing hope for 139 years. our ministry began in 1868 with our orphanage in Des Peres, Missouri, and quickly grew --- today providing adoption services, counseling, day care, foster care, youth mentoring, crisis pregnancy counseling and disaster response services throughout Missouri. We touch the lives of more than 22,000 persons annually.
To continue our history of responding to those in need, the Foundation of LFCS is seeking to raise $8.75 million through the statewide growing hope capital campaign. The campaign, which began with a quiet phase in February 2006, is raising $4.55 million in endowment funds to be used to stabilize and sustain core programs well into the future, $2.1 million to eliminate LFCS’ facility debt and free up an additional $150,000 a year to assist the many children and families needing care, and $2.1 million in capital improvements.
