Who we are
Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains is a faith based, non-profit human services agency providing adoption, foster care, older adult & caregiver, prevention, and refugee services since 1948. We provide help and support to children and families during their most challenging times regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or age. At LFS, we believe that all people, from the newborn to the most elderly, are valued members of our community.
With offices in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Fort Morgan and Albuquerque, we partner with communities to meet the unmet needs affecting their most vulnerable populations. LFS strives to recognize areas in need and to find ways to serve those who have seemingly become invisible. Every day, hundreds of people turn to LFS for refuge, help and hope.
We don’t do it alone! The hallmark of serving through LFS has always been a shared sense of being in this together; joined at the heart with volunteers, clients, donors and neighbors.

Open your heart, open your home – considering becoming a Foster Parent! As a foster parent you’ll change not only the life of a child but your own.
Donate – help ensure sustainability of LFS programs helping our most vulnerable neighbors.
Volunteer – we are always in need of volunteers!
Upcoming Events
Join us for a book talk with Helen Thorpe, author of Just Like Us, Soldier Girls, and Newcomers. Her books are works of narrative nonfiction that document in a human and intimate way the lives of immigrants, refugees, and veterans of foreign conflicts.
The Newcomers was described by the New York Times as “a delicate and heartbreaking mystery story” about 22 immigrant and refugee teenagers who share one classroom while learning English together.
The event is free to attend but registration is required. Space is limited so register early! Click here to register.
The University of New Mexico International Festival is a celebration of culture and diversity at UNM. Occurring annually during the spring semester the festival features food, crafts, and performances from all over the world. International students share the food, dress, crafts and music of their cultures.
This group will meet on the Lower Level of the Cherry Creek Mall in front of Nordstrom’s.
Our Family Caregiver Support program offers a full spectrum of caregiver support and training. This program has been serving the community for over 15 years. If you are a family caregiver, caring for a loved one age 60 and older, we are here for you!
Our support group is for those providing care to an older relative or loved one. Respite funds may be available so that you can attend without worrying about your loved one. Call us at 303-217-5839 for more information.
