Hult Center for Healthy Living’s mission is to “empower people to live healthier lives” and our team works hard each day to provide services at the lowest cost possible. We are thankful for the generous donations from our donors, as well as grants provided by local, state, and foundation grants. Our small team seeks new grant opportunities daily and coordinates 15-25 grants per year to keep our programs and services as affordable as possible. These funds help to cover about 70% of the price that our services cost.
