Who Our Donors Are
Note: Higher Expenses are incurred in a Community Rocks year.
Each year, our dedicated LIGHTS volunteers work tirelessly to raise $500,000 to keep up with the growing demand for the program. Since its launch in 2011, they have raised nearly $9.5 million, helping families achieve their plan for independent living.
LIGHTS helps people with intellectual disabilities create homes to call their own offering guidance, planning support, and interim funding to help cover start-up costs for independent living. From developing a vision and budget to addressing housing challenges and long waitlists, LIGHTS supports families every step of the way.
For LIGHTS leaders, Brandon and James, the program brought connection: “Brandon and I like being roommates. We watch tv together, play PS5 and have fun.”
Through the dedication of volunteers and the strength of community partnerships, LIGHTS continues to help people with intellectual disabilities learn, grow, and thrive with greater independence.
