The 5K Walk-Run held each September involves individuals from around New Castle County and raises funds to support LCS food distribution programs.
Housing Assistance
Sometimes a single payment is all that stands between having and home and being homeless.
In an effort to help families keep their home, LCS offers zero interest loans and grants to help with rent, security deposit or mortgage payments in the City of Wilmington and New Castle County.

LCS has specialized housing assistance programs for both Female-Headed and Spanish-Speaking Households in recognition of the unique needs of these segments of our population. We encourage all loan and grant clients to enroll in financial literacy programs provided by established providers or this service. These agencies include the YWCA (with which we have a special partnership, Interfaith Housing, West End Neighborhood House, and Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council (DCRAC).
Another program - Healthy Mothers/Healthy Babies - focuses on the emergency housing and nutrition needs of pregnant women and new mothers.
