ABOUT
LIFELINE
mission & history.
LifeLine CDC is a community benefit organization that empowers neighborhoods to thrive.
We focus on what is strong in a community, not on what is wrong.
We started in 2007 to help neighbors discover their gifts, abilities, and strengths and to work together to help people and communities to thrive.
​
We believe the skills of local residents, the power of local resources, and the supportive functions of local institutions are the primary building blocks of sustainable community development.
​
LifeLine is a lattice upon which individuals in a community can thrive together. We focus on the things you cannot do alone.​ This type of community transformation is a slow and labor-intensive process, but it's the very best way to begin for long-term impact.
​​
Community development means nurturing a shared vision of the community
and its people, its gifts and its needs. Pulling together and thereby raising new capacities, and empowering new leaders!
