Love Lines, founded in 1972, grew out of a need to help needy families and individuals with life's problems such as addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex), depression, marital/divorce relationship problems, suicide, abuse and matters of a spiritual nature. Love Line's efforts are to counsel people, providing them with proper information to get long-term help through referrals to social service agencies or churches, or provide short-term help in addition to offering prayers and salvation wherever appropriate.
