We want to improve the quality of our facility to enable us to serve our community.  We are going into our 50th year of operation and our participants have always been our top priority, and we need your help with some maintenance projects so that we can continue to provide the best possible experience for them.

We have a few projects and some ongoing maintenance that could use some community attention, and we'd very much appreciate your help. This is a great opportunity for teams from churches, businesses, or other organizations. Get a group together, and come help us out! Click Respond to Need, and we'll be in touch to set everything up. Thank you!

At LCI we are consistent in providing services and opportunities in our community. We are diligent in our efforts to raise awareness about the special needs population.

If you are interested in providing your time and effort while sharing your talent in any of the following, please click Respond to Need and help make a difference.

Through awareness and advocacy we establish acceptance.

It is vital to our participants' self-esteem, independence, and health that they learn and be encouraged in good health and hygiene habits. We impart these lessons daily, but outside encouragement, instruction and education would be outstanding! There are many ways you can help:

If you are a student at CCCC in a health- or mental health-related program, come share information with our participants.

If you're a fitness instructor, come and teach our participants some great low-impact exercises or stretches.

Are you a dietitian? Come teach our participants about healthy food choices. 

We'd love to have community members bring their knowledge and expertise to our participants. If you have an idea for a program not listed here, we'd love to know about it. Click Respond to Need if you can help, and thank you!

LCI is looking for someone to engage the minds of our participants with science and history.

Science could include, but is not limited to, lessons in biology, technology, or agriculture.

History could include, but is not limited to, stories, uniforms, and equipment used for reenactments. If you have served in the military, you could talk about your service, what it means for you to serve or have served, what your uniform looks like, and what each stripe or medal stands for.

These are some options, but we are open to any ideas or services you may have to offer.

We thank you for your consideration and welcome the opportunities you may give our participants. Click Respond to Need to help out!

Here at LCI we serve a diverse group of individuals with different barriers to employment and independent living.  We are looking for someone who would be interested in teaching the importance of money management and financial stability to our participants in the Vocational Rehabilitation Program as well as to some of our Day Program participants.  

These individuals have limited resources for their success in living independently. Some are working towards making a new life for themselves, while some are just on the cusp of living independently for the first time in their lives.

It would be extremely beneficial and enlightening for these individuals to receive information and encouragement on how to manage a budget and make the most of what they have.

If you can help, please click Respond to Need, and thank you!

We are currently seeking out an affordable way to fix two of our plumbing needs.

1. We have a sink faucet that consistently leaks if the handle on the sink is not turned in a specific position.

2.  There is a toilet in the participants's mens' restroom that has a loose handle that hinders flushing at times.

If you are interested or know someone that would be willing to Volunteer their Services or be willing to give us a discount for the services, Please Respond to our need.

Thank You for considering LCI as a possible volunteering opportunity.
