For Oregon’s Tribal communities, healing and prevention begin with culture, identity, connection, and traditions passed down through generations. That belief is at the heart of the partnership between Lines for Life and the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB).
For many seniors in Oregon, isolation is a daily reality and a heavy burden. But thanks to the Senior Loneliness Line, a program from Lines for Life, that burden is met with understanding, care, and connection.
As we step into 2026, Lines for Life remains committed to our mission and purpose of bringing hope to people wherever they are, at every stage of life, and in moments when it’s needed most. In the year ahead, we are excited to continue expanding our reach, strengthening our partnerships, and deepening our impact across Oregon and beyond. From crisis lines to community-based initiatives, our work is rooted in connection, compassion, and the belief everyone deserves access to support.
