Those nonprofits include CAN Community Health, WeCareJax, JaxCareConnect, and Vision is Priceless.

“What we are trying to do is fill the most gaps that we can with the building that we have to get that done for people and really help them in a more holistic approach,” said Bill Brim, the president and CEO of LSS.

Now, there are nine community services available in one location.

“Collectively, that is a lot of services under one roof,” Brim said.

For more than 40 years, the organization has had its doors open to the community. They offer people a place of hope, provide opportunities for new beginnings, but ultimately help others.

Brim said the organization served over 90,000 people last year with its collective nonprofits. Some of the services they offer include a feeding program, refugee services, and HIV services.

“You don’t have to be any religion, it’s open to the public,“ Brim said.
