About Us

Hold Out the Lifeline: A Mission to Families enables religious congregations and communities to work alone or with agencies and other organizations for the purpose of improving the physical, mental, social, educational, environmental, and spiritual well-being of families in South Carolina.

Hold Out the Lifeline values work rooted in and guided by the faith community, and community partnerships. Its objectives are to provide health education and services to families, build relationships within families, and involve religious congregations and communities in identifying resources and solving problems. Its overall process includes recruiting and training congregational members as family health advocates and bringing religious congregations and communities together with health and human service providers to form local initiatives.
