Overview

Mission

To support compassionate, quality healthcare, promote community health education, provide services which generate financial resources, and offer fulfilling volunteer experiences.

What it reported doing in 2024

At the press of the medical alert button, the Lifeline 24-hour emergency response team is activated. Lifeline saves lives in the event of an emergency, reduces suffering and fear, and provides for early intervention in the event of a fall or other emergency. The Service League recognizes their social responsibility to address the needs of at-risk elderly and disabled members of our community, including those with limited financial resources, so they offer a financial assistance program which provides the service at a reduced fee for qualified applicants. Currently, approximately 35 of their approximately 225 clients benefit from this program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
