“I am so thankful that I have a chance to be involved in something that really has helped people, that really has been there for people when they needed help.” – Debbie Lassiter
Parking at the Clinic: Due to increased client volume, our back lot is reserved for clients only. This is critical to reducing no-shows and ensuring our clients get the care they need.
Volunteers should plan to arrive 15 minutes early to find street parking or use the paid lot at the Hutton Hotel. Thank you for understanding!
