The Community for Better Living began in the early 2000s with the challenge of becoming a beacon of help and guidance. We started by offering classes in healthy cooking, CPR, autism awareness, financial planning, online identity protection, healthy, judgment-free spirituality, and anything else we found to help the community. Importantly, all our classes have always been accessible to the public, ensuring everyone in our community can benefit and live better, more fulfilling lives.

In 2010, we settled at our current location off Columbia Rd. Meanwhile, a sister organization, Walk of Faith Community Center, began to pay its roots on the west side of Cleveland, partnering with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to serve that area as a pantry distribution center and hot breakfast for anyone in need.

In 2014, both centers drew a bit closer as they began to share the same board chair and director, and in 2016, at the urging of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, the Community for Better Living began food pantry service on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. Shortly after that, the Walk of Faith Community Center lost its lease, and the two centers merged and became the Community for Better Living. We continue to run food pantry services twice a month and hold classes and events to help enrich our community. All are welcome to join any of our services and become a part of our community.
