The Lighthouse Happy Holidays Project provides gifts for more than 2,000 children, teens and young adults in crisis. Included are more than 400 teenagers living in foster care, residential treatment facilities, and independent or transitional living programs, as well as nearly 100 homeless youth. These kids are often neglected and forgotten with no real place to call home. The Happy Holidays Project helps brighten their spirits at a time when loneliness can be even more devastating.
Each year, Lighthouse relies on the generosity of the community to provide gifts for these teenagers. Items on the wish lists include basic necessities, such as hats, gloves, jeans, gym shoes, personal care and household items. To view the Wish List click
