DONATE NOW


Lifeline is uniquely positioned with the infrastructure and relationships to turn dollars donated into supplies and care desperately needed by the most vulnerable in our community. Early on it was apparent that we were providing essential services. This has meant continually adapting as an organization to meet the growing challenges faced by our staff and clients as a result of COVID-19. Each day, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the generosity of organizations, companies, and individuals who have responded to our call with an outpouring of support. We are inspired by what the youth, individuals and families in our programs can overcome – and achieve – even during this time of crisis for so many.
