How Will Your Generosity Impact Lifehouse?
At Lifehouse we believe that living a full, enriched life with dignity is not only possible for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), but also a human right that speaks directly to the values that we hold dear in our community. On this Giving Tuesday, please donate to Lifehouse, so that we can continue to offer services that allow the people we support to exercise that right. Please consider reaching out to like-minded friends to ask for their support.
Your donation will impact Lifehouse in two significant ways:
Hiring, retaining, and training highly qualified Direct Support Professionals (DSPs).
Offering meaningful enrichment opportunities to the people we support through programs like RecLife and our popular annual events, the Awards Banquet, Holiday Party, and Summer Picnic.
Please make a gift that represents your compassion and empathy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Your support makes a world of difference to them.
Thanks to the big hearts of members of the community like you, Lifehouse can offer higher pay and better training, both of which directly impact the level of care for the individuals we support.

Your commitment and generosity mean the world to us and to the people we support. Your donation is a lifeline. Make a lasting difference with Lifehouse!

Work with us and Help Make a Difference!
Serving over 360 people in San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma Counties, there are often job opportunities at Lifehouse. We operate nine group homes for people with developmental disabilities and provide support to numerous individuals who live and work independently in the community. Some of our homes offer around the clock care for people with profound developmental disabilities, while other homes serve as a transition to independent living and provide training in cooking, money management, transportation, time management, and other basic living skills.
