Prime Time House gave me a purpose in life. It gave me a reason for functioning, a reason for getting up every day. Before Prime Time House, I would stay at home, sleep, and do nothing, but now I have a purpose. I have a reason to get out of bed every day. I have friends. I have people who I need.

Planned Giving:
Did you know that more than 80% of Americans donate to nonprofits, but only 8% chose to continue their support through a bequest? By making bequests and other “planned gifts,” you can help your charity of choice and leave a legacy.
You don’t have to have extraordinary wealth to make a planned gift. Even a small amount can have a big impact over time.
Some people think they must choose between leaving a gift to their family or charity. You can do both! Many planned gifts actually save your family money.
It’s easy. There are many ways to make a planned gift. Designate Prime Time House as your beneficiary and continue to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with their mental illness for years to come.

How You Can Help:
Our Services:
Empowerment Through Giving
This is not where you come and get service. This is where I come and give service. So that empowers me. I can be a service giver. The staff and members work side by side. Members make decisions for the clubhouse. It’s so empowering to be considered not a patient, not somebody with a label, but a member.
