About Us
At Need Line, our committed team, works tirelessly towards our goal of providing invaluable support and making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
The History of Need Line
In 1973, Dr. Julie Lovins, Mrs. Euple Ward, and Rev. David Roos had a dream of creating a new agency in Murray, KY. Shortly after, in the Spring of '74, the Need Line Office opened to help serve the community. Despite two fires and multiple setbacks, Need Line has grown to serve Murray and Calloway County's needs. Today, Need Line receives approximately 5,000 applications for individual and family assistance every quarter. Need Line provides help with emergency assistance, basic needs, and many programs built to assist the community.
