Senseless Injustice to our own Lighthouse Mission

I originally intended to write an article, asking for donations of 26 inch bicycles for the Lighthouse mission, but a senseless act of vandalism changed the course of this article!

The lighthouse Mission distributes free food to 3,000 people every week, but in addition, also provides the local youth with quality social activities, as well as a Christian religious education.

Kids and young adults are escorted from local homeless shelters and are invited to participate in basic activities that every youth should experience! The Lighthouse Mission (LM) sponsors, bicycle trips,   sailing lessons, Kayaking excursions, trail biking, educational racing car seminars, camping trips, and also helps kids and young adults with their homework, after school!

This wonderful organization helps hundreds of children, young adults, and adults survive in this hostile environment! Most of the families that are helped by the LM are people just like you and I! I was fortunate enough, not to lose my job when we had the economic down-turn… Most of the people and families that are now in the shelters, never recovered, and were not able to get jobs that are good enough to support a family!

As a reward for the unprecedented services the Lighthouse Mission has provided to our community, someone sneaked onto the LM property in the dead of the night, and broke the windows and slashed the tires on one or more of the trucks that are used to deliver food to the needy! What kind of person would do this?

We as a community must individually stand up and support the Lighthouse Mission, by helping them in any way that we can! They are currently low on un-cooked food, and now need car windows and tires, in order to continue their service to the needy! Yes the youths would still love to have new 26 inch bicycles! Every youth deserves to have a bike!

The lighthouse Mission is not government funded and operates entirely on donations.  If you can contribute please go to the following link. www.LighthouseGive.com
