Making a Difference
The Community for Better Living(CBL) is a 501(c) 3 community service and education center on Cleveland's west side. Our mission is made possible by a community volunteer network of people who are integral to finding ways to serve and care for anyone in need. Our offerings include education, direct services, and family/community support. In addition, we host events to serve the community, all while raising funds and supporting this worthy cause.
We are located on the Westside of Cleveland, just West of the Airport, at 7074 Columbia Rd, Olmsted Township, OH 44138.
"Thank you so much for providing food while I've been off work and homeless. My job was downsized in April, and I didn't see it coming. I'm a worker, but it felt like my whole life stopped. Everything was blocked. Even though I know God has this situation under control and it's not too hard for him, it's way too big for me.
The food you provided made an immediate difference. I didn't realize the reason I didn't feel well might have been because I wasn't eating right. Thank you! Your kindness alleviated the stress and feelings of overwhelm, too. Thank you for the loving work you do on behalf of others, even me."
- Carol, CBL Client
