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.
Ways You Can Help
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 our talented Beyond the Plate refugee chefs every other Wednesday at the Evening Market at Three Sisters Kitchen. There will be a variety of traditional dishes from a different country each week our chefs are at the market. Plan to stop by after work for a snack or dinner!
Our Beyond the Plate Series is a culinary and vocational training program for refugees. Beyond the plate is designed to prepare refugees for a career in food service. The program allows aspiring refugee chefs to share their expertise through a series of cooking classes they teach to the Albuquerque community.
During each class, attendees will learn the art of cooking traditional dishes from various 
countries, history about the food, and have an opportunity to work with local ingredients and learn more about cooking in different cultures.
Classes are $35 per person, registration is required.
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.
