Volunteer Spotlight: The Best Way to Give Thanks? Help Someone Rewrite Their Story.

 

This time of year invites us to pause and remember that gratitude is more than words—it’s how we show up for others. One of the most powerful ways to give thanks is by giving yourself—your time, your compassion, your listening ear.

At the Life Center, we believe kindness is contagious. When you volunteer, especially as a Guide for our Hero on a Mission program, you’re not just helping someone—you’re walking beside them as they rediscover hope, purpose, and courage. Guides aren’t counselors or experts—they’re everyday heroes who listen, encourage, and help others take their next right step.

One volunteer said it best: “Guiding others through the Hero program has been the highlight of my week. It’s amazing to see people light up when they realize their story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.”

Volunteering at the Life Center connects you to a community filled with laughter, purpose, and heartfelt gratitude. You’ll grow new friendships, learn new skills, and witness life-changing moments that remind you what really matters. Plus, we’ll train you and cheer you on every step of the way.

So this Thanksgiving, if you’re looking for a way to show gratitude in action, consider becoming a Hero Guide. Your kindness might just be the spark that helps someone else find their strength—and you’ll discover your own in the process.

Ready to start your hero journey?

The Bus That Brings Relief, Hope, and Maybe Even a Free Phone You never forget the sound of a bus pulling up when you’ve been waiting for something to arrive, especially when it’s bringing help. On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., something powerful is coming to the Life Center: the Hamilton County 513Relief Bus. It doesn’t honk its horn or flash bright lights. It just parks, opens its doors, and quietly changes lives.  Inside this one-of-a-kind mobile resource center, you’ll find a surprising amount of goodness packed into a single vehicle: Fresh produce (courtesy of Food from the Soul) Free phones (thanks to Stand Up Wireless) Mobile banking and financial wellness support (via Fifth Third Bank) Medical screenings (blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol, provided by UC Health) Mental health support, housing connections, peer recovery, resources for seniors, and even birth certificates Think of it like a one-stop neighborhood pop-up shop for your well-being—...

Overcoming Together: A Banquet to Remember

  Overcoming Together: A Banquet to Remember Hope is a funny thing. It’s invisible and weightless, yet it can move mountains when you have it. That’s why the Life Center’s annual Hope Banquet isn’t just another dinner. It’s a chance to be part of something bigger, to ignite hope where it’s needed most. Mark your calendar for Friday, February 21, at Whitewater Crossing! This incredible evening starts at 6 p.m. with an open house and mouthwatering appetizers from Kreimer’s Bier Haus (because all good things start with food). Dinner by Sullivan’s Catering follows, leading into a night of inspiration featuring Vincent Rey, former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker and current team chaplain. Vincent knows something about pressure—like what goes through an NFL linebacker's mind when the game is on the line. (Hint: It's not “What’s for dinner?”). But beyond the game, he’s faced challenges that have tested his faith, purpose, and perseverance. His journey from the locker room to the pulpit ...
