Welcome to the Lucas County, Ohio
Committee for Children
The Committee for Children is a group of citizens who believe that Lucas County children deserve a strong child protection system.
We recognize the challenges that children and families face today: addiction, domestic violence, mental health, and other social ills. These problems often lead to child abuse and neglect. Each county in the state is required to provide for the protection of these youngest victims.
Lucas County Children Services’ (LCCS) mission is to lead the community in the protection of children. But…child protection can only succeed with the support of citizens and community leaders.
On November 5, 2024, Lucas County voters will be asked to vote on a property tax measure that will provide critical funding to care for our community's most troubled youth and need a level of service that traditional foster families cannot provide.
