Hold Out The Lifeline: A Mission To Families is a South Carolina nonprofit that focuses on strengthening families through faith-based community outreach, health education, prevention programs, and advocacy. Rather than operating like a traditional child welfare agency, they work through churches, local partnerships, and community leaders to address the “holistic health” of families.
Their mission statement is:
“To enable our partners, faith-based organizations, and communities to address the holistic health of families in South Carolina.”
What They Stand For
Their philosophy is strongly community-centered and faith-rooted. They believe families need support not only physically, but also:
emotionally,
mentally,
socially,
educationally,
environmentally,
and spiritually.
A major theme in their work is:
prevention instead of crisis response,
empowering communities to help one another,
and training ordinary community members to become advocates for families.
Qualifications / Who Can Receive Help
They do not list strict eligibility requirements like:
income limits,
custody requirements,
or DSS involvement.
Instead, they appear to work broadly with:
families in South Carolina,
faith communities,
churches,
community organizations,
and individuals needing family-health education/support services.
