Called to Serve. Empowered to Act. Inspired to Lead. With You, We Ignite the Flame of Unlimited Potential.
Bela Maroti, our dear friend, advisor and cherished founder of the LSS Foundation has left an indelible mark on all of us at LSS.
Bela’s legacy of hope in recovery has impacted tens of thousands of lives because he said “yes” to using his God-given gifts to serve others.
He was a man of tremendous wisdom, grace, and kindness. His infectious smile, brilliant counsel, and tender heart will be forever missed.
Bela was both a guidepost and a beacon for Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (LSS) and the LSS Foundation. He was advisor, advocate, and champion in helping to shape our programs. His visionary, Servant-Leadership recognized the need for long-term financial support of human services programs.
