Welcome to Lifeline, Inc., Lake County’s Community
Action Agency
Lifeline was
founded on June 19, 1973 with the mission of helping Lake County’s
low-income residents by providing assistance and life skills
programming that was designed to increase self-sufficiency. In 1980
Lifeline became a participating agency of the United Way of Lake
County. And in 1987 Lifeline was designated as Lake County’s Community
Action Agency by the Ohio Department of Development.
In 2003
Lifeline celebrated it’s 30th anniversary of serving Lake County’s
low-income residents. Today Lifeline continues with much the same
mission of helping families break the cycle of poverty and achieve
self-sufficiency.
In May 2003,
Lifeline staff and its Board of Trustees completed a strategic planning
process for Lifeline’s immediate future resulting in a new motto and
programming goals. Lifeline’s newly adopted motto ‘First to help, then
to teach’ recognizes the Lifeline’s diverse programming in the areas of
emergency services and self-sufficiency. Lifeline strives to help
families in crisis and then teach them to become self-sufficient.
