CHARITY

Purcell Service is a charitable sponsor of locally operated addiction and domestic violence recovery organizations, seeking to make a difference in the lives of men and women in Central Illinois, and beyond.

LIFELINE CONNECT
Lifeline Connect is a residential addiction recovery center for men. It is a ministry of Apostolic Life Church, located at 2107 N. High Cross Road, Urbana, Illinois. Substance abuse is rampant, but there is a safe place where men can experience recovery while discovering God's purpose for their lives. Lifeline-connect is a Christian faith-based solution to life-controlling drug and alcohol addictions. Our mission is to help men rebuild their lives emotionally, financially, physically, socially and spiritually. This residential learning center provides a healthy and stable environment where men are able to focus on their recovery and receive the community support they need.

DOVE
Dove is an organization that engages religious institutions, volunteers, and advocates seeking to coordinate efforts to address unmet needs and social injustices. These needs are met through coordinated programs focusing on domestic violence, homelessness, education, volunteer and community empowerment, and individual emergency need fulfillment. Dove works for justice, equality, and understanding among all people.

MERCI'S REFUGE
Merci's Refuge is a 4-6 month transitional period Christian residential counseling program for adult women seeking freedom from various life-controlling issues that keep them from experiencing joy and accomplishing their goals. These issues often stem from past trauma and include things like depression, anxiety, addictions, unhealthy relationships, unplanned pregnancies, unstable income and housing, and involvement with the child welfare system. Our aim is to provide the time, space, and support for women to step outside of survival and crisis mode and begin the hard work of healing from past trauma. Our program includes individual counseling, group work, life-goal coaching, and various life-skills classes for pregnancy, parenting, finances, and healthy living. We are a Christian ministry and our program encourages residents to explore and grow in their faith through bible study, prayer and worship, and being a part of the Christian community.
