Cost of Lighthouse Services
All program training and client transportation for training provided at no cost, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Unfortunately, we do not have the funding to provide transportation for drop-ins, art class, support group, awareness events, and other activities provided outside our core programs. Some of the costs for art and drop-in supplies are also not covered by the Lighthouse. Please ask for details.
