Volunteer

 
 

The Light House is a warm, welcoming home where volunteers can engage with, encourage, and support the women we serve through a wide variety of opportunities,

including:

  • Mentoring

  • Classes: cooking, art/crafts, health and wellness, parenting

  • Activities – movie nights, holiday fun, game nights, outings

  • Provide transportation to appointments, meetings

 
 

Our center is a safe haven for women to relax in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. They come in to chat and have a snack, enjoy arts and crafts, and/or seek assistance as needed. Offering classes and support groups, connecting women with needed services, and assistance in finding employment are just a few of the services we provide.

  • Welcome and serve the women who drop in

  • Teach a creative art/craft class

  • Help sort donations and prepare gift bags

  • Plan and participate in special activities for outings or movie nights

  • Provide transportation for women’s appointments

 

STREET OUTREACH

Street outreach is undertaken in a variety of ways to meet women who could benefit from our services.

  • Become part of our trained team that walks the neighborhood offering gift bags of snacks, drinks and personal care items which meet a need and serve as a point of connection. With kindness and compassion, invite women to Revive (information cards are placed in every bag as well)

  • Serve at tables that are periodically set up in a nearby park with snacks, drinks, gift bags and special items

  • Bake or purchase cookies or brownies providing a sweet treat for the snack bags (may be dropped off at the center in advance)

  • Collect personal care items and help prepare gift bags

  • Write short notes of encouragement to be placed in each bag we give

 

Prayer Team:

The prayer team is committed to praying for the needs of the women we serve at the Light House, Revive, and on our street outreach, as well as the staff and for Light of Life as a ministry. We send a monthly email with specific requests as well as an occasional group text for important, time-sensitive prayer as needed. We believe that prayer is the most important and foundational element of all we do and that true transformation and restoration is possible through a personal relationship with Jesus. It is our hope that everyone we connect with will experience His love, mercy and grace.
