Our History
Our History
The Lighthouse was formed in 1999 to serve as a safe space for abused and neglected children. After seeing the need for a women's shelter in the area, we evolved into a refuge for both women and children. While some aspects of The Lighthouse have changed over the years, what has remained the same is our mission to serve with God by our side.

Our History
The mission of the Lighthouse is to serve women and children by providing stability, restoring dignity, and empowering independence. We provide not only a safe home, but also a program that highlights self worth, life skills, and the love of Jesus Christ. We prepare women for life beyond The Lighthouse by implementing our "Path to Potential".

The Lighthouse is currently lead by Director Jody O'Neill and a nine member Board of Directors. We have a 8 bedroom 4 bathroom facility in which we house women and children in need. The Lighthouse is run 100% from donations. We rely on these donations to be able to continue providing shelter to these women and children.
