Lifelong

Bringing care to those in need!

For over 40 years, Lifelong has been a beacon of hope and support for people facing some of the most challenging situations imaginable. Our dedicated team provides client-centered case management for housing and healthcare, delivers medically tailored meals and groceries, and fosters a supportive community for individuals living with HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, and other life challenging illnesses.

As Lifelong continues to fight for health equity when federal funding is being targeted, now is the time to show your support. Access to healthcare for the most vulnerable already has barriers, and with the challenges of the current climate, Lifelong needs our community to stand with us to ensure our clients continue to receive the support they rely on.  

With your GiveBIG donation today, Lifelong can stay strong during this moment of uncertainty and continue to provide and expand essential services to our neighbors in need. Our goal is $15,000 so, be loud, stay proud, and stand with Lifelong and our community. Please donate today. 

ABOUT LIFELONG: 

Serving the Pacific Northwest for 40+ years, Lifelong's mission is to remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.  

Lifelong seeks to achieve that vision by uplifting individuals who are the hardest to connect with and serve - houseless, chronically ill, marginalized, and low-income - due to socio-economic background, stigma, discrimination, language, or cultural differences by helping them navigate complicated systems. These barriers to healthcare they face are often insurmountable and prevent them from taking steps to improve their health conditions, sometimes putting them at risk for further poor health outcomes.

Lifelong has a unique model of care that aims to mitigate the obstacles people can struggle with when seeking supportive services. The staff work collaboratively with individuals to identify their health goals and barriers to achieving them. This allows Lifelong to build trusting relationships with members of the community who have been alienated by structural inequities and incentivizes people to commit to their health.

We serve a diverse population across Washington State with a focus on those living in western Washington. In 2024, roughly 9,000 clients were served across our programs (Aging and Disability Services, Care & Prevention, Food & Nutrition, Healthcare Access, and Housing). 

Lifelong’s largest program, Food & Nutrition, provides medically vulnerable people with meals and groceries that are tailored to meet their individual health goals and medical needs. Registered dietitians work with other healthcare professionals to ensure meals and groceries support their clients' health in tandem with their medications.
