Respite Participant Application

Thank you for your interest in The Lucas Project’s community respite program. We will work with volunteers to provide respite care once a month to special needs families in Western Michigan at Rose Park Reformed Church in Holland, Michigan. There is a $50 fee to cover our operating costs which can be paid at the end of this form, along with an additional $25 fee if your child needs one-on-one support. This fee is refundable if cancellation is submitted two weeks prior to your scheduled respite date. After this period, the fee will be considered a donation to The Lucas Project. Please fill out your contact information to sign up!
