Life Line Homes

Life Line Homes is a U.S. nonprofit organization with the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 480547728. Founded by a pastor appointed by the Kansas Conference of the Free Methodist Church in 1907, it initially served as an orphanage, adoption agency, children's home, and temporary residence for teens placed by the juvenile court.

History

For over seven decades, Life Line Homes provided a safe haven for abandoned infants and homeless children. However, due to deterioration and the high cost of renovations, the residential facility closed in 1981. The property in Kansas City, Kansas, was subsequently sold.

Mission Continuation

Despite the closure of the residential facility, the organization's mission remained vital. Funds from the sale of the property and significant estate gifts established a permanent endowment fund. The interest income from this endowment supports grants to churches and other 501(c)3 organizations, furthering their initiatives to assist youths in need.

Impact and Legacy

Today, Life Line Homes continues to serve youths through grants, supporting them in achieving their full potential. The organization's commitment to its original mission ensures that the positive impact on the lives of young people endures more than a century after its founding.

Grant Initiatives

Life Line Homes provides grants to community organizations to enhance their capacity to support young individuals. The focus is on leveraging financial resources to empower other nonprofit entities that align with the organization's goal of nurturing and empowering youth.
