for supporting Lake sumpter Families
WHO WE ARE
In Lake and Sumter County over hundreds of children are taken from their homes and placed in foster care each MONTH.
Of these children:
-
Less than 60% will graduate from high school
-
Over 20% will become homeless after age 18
-
25% will end up in the criminal justice system by age 24.
Lake Sumter Families (LSF) was formed in 2000, a 501-c-3, was formed to address these staggering statistics and address the needs of children in care. In collaboration with Kids Central, LSF provides an integral tier of support that goes beyond the basic needs of wellness and safety. This coordinated effort provides a comprehensive approach to addressing the outcomes from abuse and neglect.
The hallmarks of our program, educational support, personal development, and life-skills guidance target the areas essential to changing a child’s direction from poverty, crime and government assistance so that they can better become independent, contributing members of our community.

SCHOOL SUPPLY
DRIVE
One of the main reasons Lake Sumter Families was founded in 2000 was to compensate for Central Florida's struggles with providing school supplies. We’ve dedicated a lot of man-hours and invested countless resources to this charitable cause, and hope you’ll help us continue this work. See how you can by contacting us below.
