We’re proud to share a big thank you to everyone who supported our Lake Charles Fan Drive!

Our Lake Charles team hosted a drive-thru donation event to collect fans for local seniors. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the SWLA community, we were able to collect nearly 90 fans. These are now being distributed in partnership with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office Elderly Division.

🌿 Honoring Fathers This Father's Day 🌿

Today, we pause to honor the strength, wisdom, and love of fathers everywhere — especially those in our care, those we remember, and those who support their loved ones with grace and compassion.

At Harbor, we witness every day the powerful role fathers play in shaping lives and sharing love, even in life’s most tender moments. This Father's Day, we celebrate the legacies they leave behind and the memories that continue to guide us.

To the fathers, grandfathers, father figures, and those who hold a father’s love in their hearts — thank you. 💙
