About Us

Additionally, we service the deaf, hard of hearing, and the visually impaired population.

What We Do
Murphy and Others Living Interdependently for Future Endeavors (M.O.L.I.F.E.), was established in 1994 and officially incorporated on June 15, 1995 as a private, non-profit, 501 C 3 organization. We are a deliberately small, inclusive, non-site based organization. We support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and are dedicated to enhancing their lives in the areas of career development, housing and community inclusion.
We depend on support from our state contracts, donations, volunteers from our community members, and the success of our fundraisers to continue our mission of quality individualized attention and care of the individuals we support. We hope you'll join us.
Our Mission
To provide exceptional support to individuals with diverse abilities who are seeking careers, community membership, interdependent living, transportation services, therapeutic counseling, and fun social exploration.
M.O. L.I.F.E., INC. was created by Charles Murphy, Sr. in 1995 with the goal of allowing individuals with disabilities and their families to be treated with respect and be allowed the choice to decide their own future endeavors. Because his father, Paul Murphy, had a disability, Charles knows the importance of inclusion. He has taken this experience and woven it into the culture of M.O.L.I.F.E. We must respect those we support and listen to all ideas. Our vision is to be an instrument that enhances lives.
Message from our Founder
I started Murphy and Others Living Interdependently for Future Endeavors (M.O. L.I.F.E., INC.) in 1994 and incorporated on June 15, 1995 with the goal of bringing an organization to the community that would be the best it could be in servicing the needs of individuals with disabilities.
When I was just five years old, my Dad missed one step on a cement staircase and developed a traumatic brain injury. I grew up with a person with a disability…but to me it was just my Dad. That is why each member of M.O. L.I.F.E., INC. is so important to me. Each of our consumers and their families, our staff and their families and the very generous donors, supporters and volunteers at M.O. L.I.F.E., INC and the food pantry all play an incredibly important role in enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. It is this fundamental belief that led us to our Vision and Mission. It is my sincere wish that you will join OUR FAMILY in some capacity and help us achieve these goals.
Sincerely,
Charles Murphy, Sr., President
M.O. L.I.F.E., INC.
