Mission

Pacific Lifeline, a faith-based ministry, empowers women and their children facing chronic homelessness and helps them achieve personal and social stability. Our purpose is to eliminate the threat of chronic homelessness for these families, providing the structure that allows them to establish a solid foundation and gain self-sufficiency. Our strategic program and commitment to the long-term stability of the families we serve distinguishes us from other shelters.

History

Pacific Lifeline’s legacy has its roots in San Francisco: “Lifeline Ministries” began in the early 1900’s as a street ministry to sailors, and then a rescue mission to the destitute. In 1989, it transitioned to a community-based shelter for homeless women and their children. Since November 1995, the program has been located in Upland, California, continuing the mission of empowering homeless families on a path to self-sufficiency.

Results

Pacific Lifeline successfully establishes long-term stability for single-mother families. We provide the structure through which families build a foundation that enables them to achieve self-sufficiency. Upon completion, women are equipped to maintain housing and employment, meet their children's needs, and continue working on the insight they have gained into their own needs and behaviors.

Donating a Vehicle

Donating a car that is in good working order to Pacific Lifeline is a rewarding way to get a tax deduction! A donated car gives a huge boost to a woman working to achieve self-sufficiency. Call 909-931-2624 or email k.grubb@pacific-lifeline.org to donate a car.

Help Us Monthly

There are many practical aspects that are required in the daily journey of providing hope to families. Food for hungry children, detergent for clean clothes, access to a computer for job applications, heat for warmth in the winter, and school supplies for budding scholars are a few examples.

Guiding lost families home for over 100 years

Our strategic program and commitment to the long-term stability of the families we serve distinguishes us from other shelters.

Residential Home

Our residents live in a safe home-like atmosphere with their own furnished living space. We provide groceries, paper products, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and baby supplies. Also, proper clothing is provided for school and work.

Women's Program

Case management includes career and budget counseling and job and housing search support. Therapists provide individual and family therapy, group therapy, parenting support and life skills education. Tutoring is provided as needed.

Children's Program

The therapy team provides individual and sibling counseling, developmental play sessions, and group activities. Children receive tutoring and support for school work, outings and birthday parties and family enrichment activities.

Extended Care

Once a family leaves our shelter, we become their extended family! We continue to provide individual and family therapy, life skills workshops, and Christmas and Back to School programs, as well as access to food, essentials, and community resources.

Making a difference. Transforming lives.

For the first time I had the tools I needed to create a better life for my children.

Pacific Lifeline helped me to be patient with my boys when sometimes I was just at a loss of what to do.

Pacific Lifeline offered me an experience that has forever changed my life.

Pacific Lifeline gave me a roof for my children when I could not give them one.

Pacific Lifeline gave me sanity when I was on the verge of insanity.

For the first time I had a support system. For the first time in my life I had hope.

My children and I have such an appreciation for life, for people, and for our family.

Living with such diverse backgrounds has improved my world outlook and ability to accept and love others.

Thank you for allowing me to grow, enjoy being a parent, and not give up on life.

Pacific Lifeline saved my life and the lives of my children.

We gratefully acknowledge the companies that sponsored our 2022 Fundraising Event, “Building Hope.”
