Home - LCSNW

You serve vulnerable people in our communities through LCS Northwest just like our founders did 100 years ago. “Build strong communities,” they said.

Now, our founders call us to serve. “Build strong communities” is the cornerstone of work today. Our goal is for you to keep building stronger communities with us for the next 100 years.

Sharing History With Boots Winterstein

Boots Winterstein has volunteered with us, presided over our board of directors as president, and led our North Puget Sound team as their director from 2000-2006. She is also the daughter of The Reverend Ruben Spannaus, the first director of Associated Lutheran Welfare (today LCS Northwest). We share her story as the latest entry in our Centennial Series.
