2024 Mission Project – MC2024

Raise $20,000 for Lighthouse Family Shelter in Pontiac.

Mission Council is pleased to announce the 2024 Missions Project. Lighthouse Family Shelter will use our $20,000 donation to convert bathrooms on the first floor to make them wheelchair accessible. Lighthouse Family Shelter houses 18 families, on average 60 people. The Family Shelter is intended to be a short term fix, with the goal being to set the families up with permanent housing. Upon their arrival the families are assigned a case worker who helps them during the transition. The program has a 95% success rate for families staying in the permanent housing for two years after assignment.

We look forward to contributing to this worthy cause.

We ask for your support. Please note MC2024 when making your donation.
