Lifeline Youth and Family Services brings hope to fractured families

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

It has been more than 40 years since a small group of business leaders felt compelled to do something to help kids in trouble who desperately needed a safe and loving home. Their grassroots efforts originally led to the purchase of a property known as, "Black Lake Lodge," in the Columbia City area. The new family outreach was incorporated on January 25, 1968.

Known today as Lifeline Family Services, the purpose of the growing organization is to create help in fractured homes and behavior. In addition, Lifeline workers seek to bring about, with God's help, a change in heart, attitudes, thinking, values and beliefs. The Lifeline mission goal is, "changing hearts and bringing hope to a generation at risk" for a lifetime.
