Supporting healthier futures
How Your Gift Helps
At Light the Way, your generosity directly transforms lives in Jasper and Beaufort Counties, South Carolina. As a local nonprofit, we are dedicated to supporting individuals who seek recovery but lack the financial means to access treatment, stability, and basic necessities. Every donation, whether large or small, helps us remove barriers and create genuine opportunities for healing.

Supporting Recovery Where It’s Needed Most
When Light the Way was founded, we received an incredible response from those eager to support individuals facing substance use disorder. That spirit of compassion continues to drive our mission today. Donations can come from anyone, anywhere, but their impact remains local, supporting residents of Beaufort and Jasper Counties as they embark on their recovery journeys.
“Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.”
— Kathy Calvin
Because of Light the Way, I see every day how powerful support can be. Recovery is not a straight path—it takes time, trust, and consistent care. Because of generous donors, I was able to receive counseling and recovery resources that helped me get and stay sober.
About Light the Way
What Your Donation Provides
Recovery is not just about treatment, it’s about stability, dignity, and support. Contributions to Light the Way are used to cover essential costs that many individuals cannot afford on their own, including:
- Treatment and recovery services
- Recovery residence housing for up to three months
- Prescription medication costs
- Insurance premiums
- Rent and utilities
- Food and basic necessities
- Clothing
- Transportation and travel costs related to treatment and recovery needs
By addressing these practical needs, we help individuals focus fully on healing without the stress of financial hardship.
How We Operate
A Focus on Safe, Supported Detox
Light the Way offers support for at-home detox only, allowing individuals to detox in a familiar and safe environment with proper guidance and planning. This approach helps us lower costs while prioritizing safety, comfort, and dignity during one of the most vulnerable stages of recovery.
About Light the Way
The Cost of a Journey and How We Stretch Every Dollar
On average, it costs $7,000 per recovery journey. This includes:
- Treatment services
- Three months in a recovery residence
- Prescription medications
- Insurance premiums
Light the Way works diligently to negotiate lower costs with providers whenever possible. This allows us to stretch every donation further and help more people with the same resources. Our commitment is to maximize impact while maintaining quality care and support.
