About Lillian's Arms
Supporting families in our community
"Quality of life” refers broadly to four factors: (1) subjective wellbeing; (2) social networks; (3) health behaviors; and (4) self-concept. We believe that addressing these aspects of quality of life helps individuals and families thrive. Lillian's Arms recognizes that in our communities, everyone's basic needs are not met. This negatively impacts quality of life. By offering consumer goods necessities (food, clothing, toiletries, etc.) to families and cultivating supportive community, Lillian's Arms advocates for the well-being of all families.
We believe all families deserve to be happy and healthy.
