Change Lives Outreach, Inc. was founded in 2018 with a heart for serving others and a vision to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals, families, youth, seniors, and communities.

The organization originally began as Change Lives & Lend A Helping Hand Outreach. From the beginning, our purpose was simple: to lend a helping hand to people in need, bring the community together, and create opportunities that could positively impact lives.

Since 2018, the organization has been involved in community outreach and service efforts designed to support individuals and families. What began as a grassroots effort to help others has continued to grow into a broader vision focused on empowerment, education, youth development, family support, and community improvement.

As the organization grew, so did our vision. Change Lives & Lend A Helping Hand Outreach eventually became Change Lives Outreach, Inc., reflecting our commitment not only to helping people during difficult times, but also to creating programs and opportunities that can produce lasting change.

On September 28, 2026, Change Lives Outreach, Inc. reached another major milestone by officially becoming a Mississippi nonprofit corporation. This step strengthened the foundation of an organization that had already been serving since 2018 and opened the door for continued growth, partnerships, programs, and funding opportunities.

Today, Change Lives Outreach, Inc. is expanding its work through youth programs, mentorship, educational support, senior initiatives, food assistance, life-skills development, employment resources, community service, athletics support, and other community-based initiatives.

Programs such as Change Lives NextGen focus on preparing young people for brighter futures through mentorship, leadership development, education, career preparation, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, tutoring, life skills, and community service.

The Change the Path Youth Program expands that commitment by providing guidance, structured opportunities, community service, and positive support for court-involved and referred youth.

Although our organization has grown since its beginning in 2018, the heart of our work remains the same: helping people, strengthening families, supporting young people, and building stronger communities.

We believe changing a community begins by changing lives one person, one family, and one opportunity at a time.

Our journey began in 2018, but our story is still being written.

Changing Lives. Strengthening Communities. Creating Opportunities.
