COMCAST AND LIGHTHOUSE MISSION MINISTRIES EXPAND PARTNERSHIP TO HELP PEOPLE GET READY FOR WORK

30 New Laptops Valued at Nearly $20,000 Will Help People Experiencing Homelessness

Build Digital Skills and Pursue Employment Opportunities

BELLINGHAM, Washington, September 21, 2026 — Comcast and Lighthouse Mission Ministries today announced the latest expansion of their longstanding partnership to help people experiencing homelessness in Whatcom County gain the technology, digital skills, and resources they need to pursue employment and greater independence.

As part of the partnership, Comcast is providing Lighthouse Mission Ministries with 30 laptop computers valued at nearly $20,000. The laptops will give Lighthouse Mission guests and program participants greater access to technology they can use to create resumes, search and apply for jobs, participate in online training, strengthen digital skills, and pursue new employment opportunities.

“Having access to a computer can open the door to new job and career opportunities,” said Alvin Helms, interim CEO of Lighthouse Mission Ministries. “These laptops will help our guests learn new skills, search for jobs, and take important steps toward employment and greater independence. We’re thankful to Comcast for its continued support and investment in the people we serve.”

Comcast and Lighthouse Mission Ministries have partnered since 2021 to expand access to technology, connectivity, and digital skills for people experiencing homelessness in Whatcom County. That year, Comcast donated a mobile computer lab that included laptops, a projector, and a printer. Lighthouse Mission used the technology to launch a four-week resume-building class where participants created and edited resumes, researched available jobs, explored local job boards, and learned basic computer skills such as document editing and typing. Comcast also partnered with Lighthouse Mission to establish a Lift Zone providing free WiFi connectivity at its Base Camp emergency shelter.

“Getting ready for work today means having access to technology and knowing how to use it with confidence,” said Vincent Buys, Comcast Government and Community Affairs Manager and former Lighthouse Mission Ministries board member. “Lighthouse Mission helps people develop the skills and support they need to move forward. We’re proud to continue working together and put more technology directly into the hands of people building a path toward employment and greater independence.”

The new laptops support Lighthouse Mission Ministries’ broader work to help people move from crisis toward stability through shelter and recovery programs, workforce training, professional development, case management, and other services.

The partnership also advances Comcast’s longstanding commitment to expanding digital opportunities. Through Project UP, Comcast’s $1 billion commitment to help create a future of unlimited possibilities, the company works with community organizations to expand access to connectivity, technology, digital skills, and opportunities for economic mobility.
