Where Life Stories Take Shape
Last year, LSS helped to transform the lives of South Dakotans with diverse and vital services statewide. But to see the whole picture and truly understand LSS, you have to see what is missing. You may know us as one specific service, but there is so much more. LSS helps individuals, families and communities of all shapes and forms. All have a place at LSS.
