Heart of the Community

Life is of proud to announce the purchase of a new 18,000-square-foot standalone building—formerly a Rite Aid—that will soon become a vibrant hub for healing, growth, and opportunity. Designed with our community’s evolving needs in mind, the space will offer a range of essential services, including:
  • Health and wellness care
  • Support for pregnant and postpartum families
  • IT, professional, and vocational training
  • Job readiness and placement programs
  • Youth entrepreneurship initiatives
  • A shared community workspace and incubator
This expansion marks a major milestone in our mission to empower immigrant and youth communities. With dedicated space for high school equivalency counseling and career development, we’re building more than a center—we’re building a future rooted in equity, dignity, and access for all.
