Entering our 15th year, The Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center is a place that provides emotional and physical support for individuals with disabilities and their families.
Located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, the Center serves hundreds of families. We can not do this without the generous support of many, and the inspiration given to us by the life and memory of Michael Carter Lisnow.
We ask that you take a moment to read Michael's story, view our efforts through images in our photo gallery, and learn about the programs we have available. We believe that the true legacy of Michael is not just the house itself, but it is the wisdom he continues to inspire in us and the strength to help change lives.

Boston Marathon 2012
We are starting to organize our team for the 2012 Boston Marathon. The big day is April 16, 2012. This is going to be another memorable year for us and all our runners.
The Coffeehouse
Once a year in the spring, some of the best local musicians gather together and perform a special night of music for the Respite Center. The concert will be on June 8, 2012 this year at the Faith Community Church in Hopkinton, MA at 7:00.
We would not exist without countless generous gifts over the years. We are often asked by people looking to give, What are a few things that Respite Center needs? Here is a list made by all of us of items that we always need, and are looking for.
