Lutheran Social Services of Michigan
We connect people with families and communities, empower them to live their fullest life possible and create a ripple effect of transformation. A social ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Samaritas is not just for Lutherans. The church has been meeting people's needs since the early 1900s when a Lutheran "city missionary" arrived in Detroit to provide services to the poor.
