Time is of the essence!

November 28, 2023

We are getting closer to our December 4th deadline to bring joy to children in need through LSF’s Christmas Angel Drive!

Join LSF and our new Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mike Carroll, in supporting Christmas Angels throughout Tampa Bay! These gifts will go to support children at risk of neglect and abuse in the Tampa Bay area, including our Case Management Organization for foster care and our Connecting Family Paths Diversion program.

As time is of the essence, there are two ways that you can provide a special gift for a child in need:

  1. Give a Gift Through Our Wishlist.
    Purchase gifts through our wishlist and they will be delivered to LSF to be dispersed to children and youth in our care.
  2. Donate funds to help.
    Let us do the work! Your monetary donation allows us to purchase gifts directly for children and youth in our care.

We also have some big news to share!
LSF is excited to announce Mike Carroll’s promotion to Chief Operating Officer (COO) for our organization. After a successful career with the Florida Department of Children and Families, Mike joined LSF in 2018 to build and grow our Family Focus area, a division of social services programs focused on children and families. In his new role as COO at LSF, Mike will manage the day-to-day operations of all LSF’s lines of service including LSF Family Focus, LSF Head Start and LSF Health Systems. Working closely with Sam Sipes, CEO, Mike will continue to champion our mission, vision and values throughout the organization.

One of Mike’s biggest strengths is advocating for vulnerable children and families which is clear in LSF’s expansion of child welfare and related programs across the state. His compassion for those in need shows through in all the work he does throughout LSF. Mike also believes strongly in the power of community and giving back and is excited to see the children we serve receive gifts during this holiday season through the LSF Christmas Angel Drive as he knows the traumatic events children at risk of neglect and abuse have experienced. A gift for them helps bring a little normalcy to a young life that has experienced more trauma than most of us could ever imagine.

Congratulations, Mike Carroll!
