| L.I.F.E. Services |
"For I was hungry and you fed me..." Matt 25:35
LIFE may provide emergency assistance to Lawrence County families in need in the form of food, shelter, utilities and other assistance as available. Budget counseling and information & referral services may also be available. The goal of the L.I.F.E. Program is to encourage and to enable families to become self-sufficient.
L.I.F.E. members are Christians from the churches and other Christian organizations in Lawrence County. We have been serving the Lawrence County community since 1987. We are a 501 c (3) non-profit organization that assists low-income families in acquiring food, paying rent or mortgage, and utility bills in emergencies. We have a furniture bank with used furniture and appliances.
