"You know in freeze tag when the tree is home base? That’s how Lighthouse felt—like, ahhh—relief. I feel safe. It was familiar, full of people I cared about. I already knew all the staff—they were a dream team." — Michael, Lighthouse Graduate & Peer Support Specialist

Michael’s story is one of countless lives being transformed through recovery and community at Lighthouse.

Big news! Nearly $20,000 was raised at the Recovery Run of the Rockies 5K—and thanks to two generous donors, the lease of a beautiful women’s recovery home in West Fort Collins is covered!

We’re now working hard to get the house certified, furnished, and ready to welcome women into a Christ-centered safe haven this November.

Six years strong.

Preston’s story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of community.

“Lighthouse provided the structure and community I needed to achieve six years of sobriety—a milestone I hadn’t reached since I was fifteen.”
– Preston

Every milestone matters, and every story reminds us why recovery is worth celebrating.

We did it!! 🎉 Because of YOU—our runners, donors, volunteers, and cheer squad—the Recovery Run of the Rockies 5K was an outstanding success as we get ready to launch Lighthouse’s new women’s recovery home!

From the starting line to the finish line (and straight to the pancake line, thanks to Fort Collins Lions Club!), this community showed up with so much heart.

A final huge shoutout to our Gold Sponsors, The Florescue Family and the The Colorado Trust for fueling this vision.

Every mile, every gift, every stack of pancakes brought us one step closer to giving women in Northern Colorado a safe place to heal and begin again. Thank you for being part of the movement!

Because no matter how far you've gone or how many times you've tried—you’re still welcome here.

Lighthouse is a place for men in recovery to start again with dignity, support, structure, and faith. We believe change is possible, and we’re saving you a spot in the light. 💡

If you're ready for a new chapter, we’re here—just down the road in Fort Collins.
