With almost 13,000 square feet of space, HFL’s building is home to HFL’s offices and the Conference & Learning Center (C&LC).
HFL’s C&LC provides state-of-the-art facilities for La Porte County nonprofits and HFL partners to meet, learn, retreat, and plan. Space is offered free of charge to HFL partners, local government entities, and health and wellness-related activities and programs.
The C&LC offers flexible space with three separate conference rooms divided by operable partitions that, when combined, can hold 178 occupants. Each of the single conference rooms is just over 1,000 square feet and features state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment, Wi-Fi, video conferencing, and more. All of the conference rooms lead out to an outdoor patio. In addition, a conference room that seats 10, a warming kitchen, and a coat room are available.
HFL Grantees, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, local government entities, and health-related activities and programs are all eligible to use the C&LC free of charge.
The C&LC is not available for fundraising, political events, social events, religious ceremonies, media conferences, or parties. For-profit businesses are not eligible to use the C&LC to conduct meetings, seminars, or any other activity unless the activity is related to an HFL grant.
Organizations are not permitted to charge attendees to participate in meetings or events; however, organizations can recoup their out-of-pocket expenses (such as catering fees) for a meeting/event.
Rooms may be reserved between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
