LOCAL PROJECT: LIGHTHOUSE FOR LIFE
Our local project will be a Lighthouse for Life. Their mission statement is “We fight to eradicate human trafficking by educating our community, and empowering survivors.” For more information go to https://lighthouseforlife.org/.
We can assist with their “wish list” that will help Kares House (their rescue house) become a safe, loving haven while they recover and become strong and independent! Click on this Wish List link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/39BHBTRVY0JCN/ref=hz_ls_biz_e. Pick what you would like to provide. You can have it shipped to your home and bring to the convention to be blessed by our chaplain on Saturday! This works just like a bridal registry, so once the item needed has been purchased, it will fall off the wish list.
​
If you would like to make a monetary gift instead, you can bring a check to convention made payable to SC WELCA. On the memo line denote that the gift is for "Lighthouse for Life". You may also make your donation online with this QR Code.
