LifeWise StL

LifeWise StL Helping under-resourced families achieve economic well-being and transform their lives in ๐Ÿ“ St. Louis
-Rooted in our foundation as Kingdom House since 1902-

Our story began in 1902 when Kingdom House was founded as a settlement house. Middle class men and women provided education and resources to help the growing immigrant population of St. Louis. They created a place of hope, refuge, learning and connection. Weโ€™re incredibly proud these ideals have endured even as the community around us has changed and life situations are more challenging. Our organ

ization has experienced its own metamorphosis as it adapted to meet the needs of our participants in this changing environment. We listened to and learned from them. As we did that, we continued to move away from crisis service transactions toward holistic transformations. Our priorities have shifted to focus on an individualโ€™s overall well-being. Today, we have a model that is based on educational programming fused with personalized and supportive coaching. We see our participants taking measurable steps to better their futures. This evolution of our fundamental vision and approach led us to choose LifeWise StL as our new name in 2019. It conveys what we are about โ€” helping people at every age live wisely. Our mission is to help individuals and families achieve economic well-being by providing high-impact, relationship-based programs and by addressing systemic barriers to their success.

When the tornado struck St. Louis, James Benson's home was severely damaged. LifeWise StL was among many partner organizations that helped James move through the lengthy and complex recovery process. Now, months later we proudly share... James. Is. Home.

Betty is the embodiment of JOY and SERVICE. Betty (Left) joined the LifeWise StL community as a participant in our Senior Resiliency Fund nearly 4 years ago.

She now serves as a Senior Companion volunteer and provides a helping hand to older adults who want to continue living independently. Whether sheโ€™s taking them to a doctorโ€™s appointment, running a small errand, or simply spending time together, her presence brings reassurance to people who might otherwise feel alone.

Betty was presented with the 2026 Show Me Service Award and named the Senior AmeriCorps member of the year. We are so proud of her! ๐Ÿ’•

To our students: As you step into the next chapter, remember that this is only the beginning. Chase your dreams boldly, lead with kindness, and never stop believing in yourself.

To our parents, staff, and donors: thank you for all of the support you've provided to our LifeWise Academy students and program this year! The future is bright ๐ŸŒŸ
