  Join the Mission to Change Lives At the Life Center, we don’t just meet people— we meet heroes . Every day, men, women, and families walk through our doors, each with a story of resilience, determination, and  hope for a better future . Like  every great hero, they are fighting for something : stability, security, and the chance to rewrite their story . Some dream of paying their bills on time , working hard , and earning a steady income . Others hope for a second job , more hours , or the ability to finally pay off their home or car . But beyond financial goals, their dreams reveal something even deeper—a longing to be good, to do good, and to give back . One guest shared, "I hope I can learn to deal with my financial problems and adjustments so I can return to focusing on others ." Even during their own struggles, they think about how to serve . That’s the heart of a hero. And here’s the truth: These dreams are within reach . When a community comes together—when we ch...

A Hero’s Journey: Amanda's Transformation Every hero’s journey begins with a challenge . For Amanda, that challenge was a mountain of obstacles: job searching, financial strain, and impending housing uncertainty . She joined the Hero on a Mission program searching for hope . What she found was transformation. Each session helped Amanda grow in confidence, faith, and joy . She arrived eager to discuss each session and shared how the program helped her feel happier and stronger . Encouraged by the Guides, she embraced each lesson, showing up early and fully engaged. Her 16-year-old daughter also attended , quietly taking in the discussions, further deepening Amanda’s commitment to putting what she learned into practice. Halfway through the program, Amanda landed a job as a caretaker for disabled men in a nursing home, a breakthrough moment that reinforced her resilience. With a roadmap for success, she also set goals to find additional work and strengthen her family’s faith foundat...

Share a Meal, Share Hope: Support Women at Weightless Anchor At Weightless Anchor Hospitality Home in Lower Price Hill, lives are changing. This haven offers women escaping abuse, exploitation, and life on the streets a place to heal and find hope. You can be part of this transformation by volunteering to provide a meal every Wednesday. A warm meal is more than food—it’s a message of love and support. How to Help: Pick a date on our Meal Train for Weightless Anchor page . Prepare a casserole or one-dish meal for 20 people. Drop it off at the Life Center or Whitewater’s kitchen freezer (Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday; Label your meal with the dish name and date). We’ll handle delivery—you provide the care. Above all, please pray for these women, asking Jesus to bring healing and restoration to their lives. Your kindness can nourish both body and soul.

Diapers & Dinner: How You Can Help Families in Need At the Life Center, no parent should choose between buying diapers and putting food on the table . That’s why, in partnership with the Community Pantry, we provide diapers to families shopping in the pantry weekly. But here’s the thing: those diapers don’t magically appear (if only!). Generous folks like you donate them. We go through all sizes, but sizes 5 and 6 practically vanish before our eyes . If you can, consider donating a box to keep little ones dry and parents less stressed . While we’re on the topic of lending a hand, the Community Pantry could also use some extra help ! If you’ve got a couple of hours to spare, we’d love to have you join us on Thursday evenings . Visit this volunteer page for more information. Cindy Hoh leads our volunteer crew and would be thrilled to answer any questions. Contact her at (513) 265-3573 for more details. This simple act of kindness—whether through diapers or your time—reminds strugg...
