Lifestyles of Maryland Foundation Inc

LifeStyles is a nonprofit organization that supports people in crisis by providing emergency assistance and through partnerships provides referrals for health and human service needs. Located in La Plata, Maryland, LifeStyles is a “one stop shop” in a county that spans 458 square miles with limited public transportation and pockets of poverty amid growth and prosperity.

LifeStyles signature programs include: the Samaritan Program, a food and clothing service, and Safe Nights, an overnight shelter program to individuals and families from October 1 through April 15 each year. 

The programs implemented are focused on the empowerment of individuals and families. Through this empowerment we believe we assisted in creating a better quality of life for those persons who contact us. 

On average, LifeStyles sees approximately 14,000 people annually. In the last year, LifeStyles has distributed 119,134 tons of food and has fed over 6,000 families and individuals. We have also provided  over 5,000 bednights to those in need during the harsh winter months, and help over 200 people find permanent housing.​

We are proud of the accomplishments of the organization as it reflects the commitment of each person involved.  The continued success of the organization is dependent upon this commitment.
