About LIGHTHOUSE

About

The Atascadero Greyhound Foundation

The Atascadero Greyhound Foundation founded the LIGHTHOUSE Atascadero program in 2012 when our community was hit hard by the opioid epidemic.  LIGHTHOUSE is about disaster and rescue, chaos and peace.  Its purpose is to provide safety, protection, and recovery through support and services.  The mission of the LIGHTHOUSE program is to provide awareness, prevention, intervention, and education in the areas of drug and alcohol abuse.  We do this through partnerships with the Atascadero Unified School District (AUSD), City of Atascadero, local businesses, service organizations, individual community members, grants and endowments.

LIGHTHOUSE:

Weapon of Rescue

LIGHTHOUSE: Weapon of Rescue is a brilliant story told by Carol Freed Gobler, an Atascadero community member, who reveals the awakening of this town’s unwelcome shadow – the monster of drug abuse. She walks us first through the darkness, then through the light as the community finally wakes up to the danger.

A must read for community residents, teachers, and families, the light from LIGHTHOUSE must stay on so as to continue protecting our children.

Carol’s writing style moves the reader into feeling the pain and the fear – much
like walking in another person’s shoes. With great empathy, she takes you on
each family’s journey over the stormy seas and then into these newly chartered
waters of hope that LIGHTHOUSE has created.
