Financial Stability
In Wabash County, and communities around the world, individuals and families are facing financial obstacles such as chronic unemployment, financial instability and homelessness. We are working to remove these hurdles that prevent a good quality of life for our citizens.
How? The programs we support are fighting to put every person on a path toward financial empowerment.

Lighthouse Mission - Is known in our community as a resource for those less fortunate as a very low priced thrift store that runs on donations from our community. The heart of the ministry is in the assistance they provide for the homeless and families in need around this area. Almost daily they are able to provide a family with free clothes, household goods, and necessities. Twice a year Holiday food baskets are handed out to over 500 families.
