Community Sustainability

Project Sustainability Initiative

As a host site in Zion, Illinois, the Lake County Community Economic Sustainability Project delivered technology resources including servers, desktop computers, and laptop computers-to establish the Project Sustainability Initiative.

The initiative built relevant industry skills for residents of Zion and surrounding communities, supported by purposefully developed curricula designed to help participants succeed in the marketplace.

Community Impact at a Glance: Over the years, Family Life Outreach Center has distributed thousands of pounds of food to seniors, individuals, and families in need while supporting a county food pantry that now serves more than 6,000 recipients each month. Through the generosity of our marketplace partners, we have also provided over $100,000 in donated merchandise, including laptops, Serta mattresses, household essentials, and other critical resources. With access to a network of more than 3,000 products, we continue to expand our ability to meet the practical needs of our community while demonstrating Christ's love through compassionate service.
