Lifeline’s Story

Lifeline first opened in 1997, with the goal of serving anyone affected by an unexpected pregnancy. Throughout the years, the team has grown from a handful of volunteers to a dedicated team filled with highly skilled professionals from different backgrounds. Through the combined efforts of our staff and volunteers, Lifeline strives to make a difference in Northeast Missouri.
