We believe all people have a right to a roof over their head, healthy food to eat, and access to affordable healthcare.

Lifelong's goal is to keep people healthy. Simply put- we make health work.
**Description**
When a person is living with a chronic illness and faced with financial hardships, getting healthy can be an overwhelming task. This struggle affects people in every corner of our community - from ambitious youth eager to start their lives but struggling to come to terms with their illness to seniors dealing with hunger and isolation.
Until they get back on their feet, we advocate to make sure the amazing people we serve receive what many of us take for granted - food, shelter, insurance, even human interaction.
**Here's how we help:**
For people living with a chronic illness, a nutritious meal can make a huge difference in the struggle for wellness. Our **FOOD** program, Chicken Soup Brigade, provides nourishment to our clients through its grocery and meal program.
When chronically ill people have a stable, safe place to live, they have a significantly better chance at improving their health. At Lifelong, we provide a variety of **HOUSING** options to create stable living situations for our clients.
The **HEALTH** of our clients is our number one priority. We help our clients get on insurance plans so they can get the care they need. We also focus on HIV prevention and education outreach, and work hard to ensure that funding for programs is maintained at the State and Federal levels.
