- Our Story
It started with one simple idea.
Community Lighthouse started with a simple idea: Pocatello needed a place where people could show up without needing money, an appointment, or a reason. Not a program, not a service line — just an open door and a chair to sit in.
That idea became a physical space on Wilson Ave, and it’s grown into a spot where neighbors, newcomers, and regulars all cross paths — over coffee, over conversation, or over comfortable silence.
“Not a program, not a service line. Just an open door and a chair to sit in.”
