Lighthouse Shelter



The Lighthouse Shelter for Women and Children provides warm beds and daily meals for 35 families (women and children) at any given time. Families can stay for up to one year and are supported and guided in rebuilding their lives back to self-sufficiency.

Through the Outreach Center's comprehensive services, the Lighthouse works to provide the following positive outcomes for shelter residents:

Safe housing | Meaningful employment | Food & clothing | Financial stability | Resolved legal issues | Transportation | Community connections | Optimal mental and physical health | Spiritual & emotional well being

Last year the Lighthouse served 32 families (women & children), giving them emergency shelter and helping them access some of the 165,741 total units of service provided by the Outreach Center.
