We’re here today because of the foresight and generosity of a pious brewer by the name of Gottlieb F. Burkhardt, whose summer farm in West Roxbury would eventually become the Martin Luther Orphan’s Home at Brook Farm in 1872. A volunteer organization with a commitment to helping children as well as “aged, weak, and helpless persons,” Brook Farm would soon be followed by the establishment of a Lutheran agency to assist lonely seafarers on the busy docks of Boston. Our social ministry had begun!
Over the years, our pledge to provide help, healing and hope to those in need expanded throughout New England. By 1992, the agency had a new name, Lutheran Social Services of New England. Today, Ascentria Care Alliance continues its legacy.
