Guiding Light Ministries will be hosting its Leaving a Legacy Evening of Inspirations fundraiser!
Guiding Light Ministries assists women in crisis to provide a safe environment for them to learn how to be successful and take care of their families. The ministry was established in 2009 with their first house opening in 2013 and a second house in 2015. The program is still growing and has been successful in helping women on all levels of life.
A fundraiser for a local nonprofit invited the community out for a night of fun.
Friday evening, Guiding Light Ministries in Lima served dozens of meals to the public at their free monthly dinner. Every third Friday of the month, the nonprofit organization hosts their "Love Thy Neighbor" dinner. They hope the community will come together and get some face to face interaction they might lose through social media and the pandemic. Guiding Light aims to help women in need by providing housing and life skills programs. They assist women in their teens to the elderly, to get them back on their feet. Although their primary focus is helping women, the love thy neighbor meal is open to anybody.
The Allen County Family and Children First Council heard from an organization that's helping women and children in the community. A presentation from Guiding Light Ministries was put on Monday afternoon. Guiding Light is a homeless shelter that gives women and children a place to stay, and gives adults the tools they need to learn how to effectively manage a home of their own and get back on their feet.
Guiding Light Ministries invited the community out for an evening of testimonials and inspiration.
A women's home is celebrating 4 years of success and they are inviting the community to join them on April 1st.
