Evangelical Lutheran Church Social Service – Hong Kong (ELCSS), established in 1976, is an integrated social service organization rooted in Hong Kong. Anchored in the Christian faith, we are committed to serving grassroots and vulnerable populations. ‘Faith in Action’ is our core guiding principle, shaping both our service approach and organizational practice. Adopting a people-centred framework, ELCSS delivers professional, needs-based services that support the sustained development of individuals, families and communities.


We operate over 60 service units and more than 50 special programmes across Hong Kong. Our services span a broad range of areas, including early childhood development, youth services, family support, elderly care, primary healthcare, rehabilitation, addiction services and transitional housing. Each year, we provide over 2.8 million service attendances. We believe that care must be realized through action. Through professional expertise, continuous innovation and long-term commitment, we respond to evolving social needs by working alongside those we serve, we strive to foster a society defined by care, justice and inclusion.
