Vanessa uses her experience with homelessness to help others. “I had nowhere to go, so I came here,” she said. “The staff and volunteers were so kind to me, so I want to do the same for people staying at the Mission now.” Thank you🙏#NationalVolunteerWeek thelighthousemission.org/how-to-help

Victor volunteers to give haircuts to our shelter guests. He said, "I know I am just cutting hair, but watching them cheer up after seeing the haircut makes it more than worth it to me." Thanks, Victor! #NationalVolunteerWeek Learn more at thelighthousemission.org/how-to-help.
