About Lifeline Inc.

History

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.

Today Lifeline continues with much of the same mission of helping families break the cycle of poverty and achieve self sufficiency. In spring of 2006, Lifeline staff and its Board of Trustees, completed a strategic planning process for the agency’s future resulting in a reaffirmed motto ad programming goals. Lifeline’s new 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.
