Winter Wonderland 2023!

Please join us this December for our annual Winter Wonderland Event! We are currently accepting gift donations from now through Thanksgiving. The location for the event is to be determined.

Share Your Fashion Sense!

So many clothes. We need to organize it better.

Looking to declutter?

Just ready to Spring Clean? We take your professional clothes, gently used, like-new, or still with tags on them; shoes; accessories; and other necessities for interviews and securing employment.

Support Services

LYDIA offers a wide range of services to support families and individuals. If you don’t see something that you need, please contact us to see if we can help.

Life Direction

Bring balance and clarity in the midst of the confusion. Working closely with a certified life coach, cut through all the noise and distress to focus on what really matters. We are solution-focused in our approach, and client-focused in every session. It’s about what you need and what’s best for your family.

Case Management

Worried about navigating all the services out there or not even sure where to begin? Let us help.
We get it. The paperwork is overwhelming. Applying for welfare, gathering information and forms, filling everything out – it can get exhausting. We walk with you through the entire process, even providing written referrals when needed.

Family Crisis

Job loss. Divorce. Sudden move. Death in the family. Children acting out. No more passion in the relationship. You talk, we listen. No judgment.

Suits You

On your way to a job interview and need more professional attire? Maybe you just got a new job and need the appropriate work clothes. We can help.

Workshops & Classes

We teach groups and small classes topics such as basic life skills in financial literacy and cooking to job skills such as resume writing and interview techniques.
