Lafayette County Children's Services Fund
Our mission is to provide quality, comprehensive training and services to protect the mental well being and safety of children and youth 19 years of age or less and to strengthen families in Lafayette County, Missouri.
The LCCSF Board of Directors is appointed by the Lafayette County Commissioners and serve without pay.
On January 18, 2010, meetings were changed from monthly to every other month, third Monday in January, March, May, July, September, and November, with the understanding that an additional meeting can be called for the off month, if needed. Meetings are held 7:00 - 8:00 pm in Lexington, MO, at Lafayette Hall in the Court House Complex.
LCCSF grants provide funding to Lafayette County public or not-for-profit agencies licensed or certified to provide qualified services for children and youth 19 years of age or less and their families who are residents of Lafayette County. They are made possible through a sales tax of one-eight of a cent collected in Lafayette County under RSMo Chapter 67, Section 67.1775 (Aug. 28, 2003).
