Lighthouse Mission Ministries Hosting 101st Thanksgiving Dinner at their New Building
November 13, 2024
Lighthouse Mission Ministries in Bellingham is seeking volunteers and donations for its 101st Thanksgiving dinner, offered to hundreds of hungry and/or homeless people in the community.
The Lighthouse Mission’s Thanksgiving dinner will be served by dozens of volunteers from 12-2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 28 in its recently opened building at 1312 F St. Anyone who is hungry is welcome. Lighthouse Mission served more than 600 Thanksgiving dinners last year.
This year’s Thanksgiving feast will include roast turkey, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, salad, ice cream and pies. But one of the most important ingredients for this community gathering is people.
“Nobody likes to be alone during the major holidays,” said Hans Erchinger-Davis, President and CEO of Lighthouse Mission Ministries. “The Thanksgiving dinner gives our guests a place to connect and feel human.
“Everyone coming to the dinner will know they are loved and cared for, by us and by God — receiving community and connection when they are at their loneliest.”
Community members may support the Thanksgiving dinner by donating their time, food and/or money. Volunteers are needed for set-up, clean-up, assisting the kitchen, serving food, bussing tables and more. If someone would like to get involved, they can sign up using VolunteerHub at this link: https://thelighthousemission.volunteerhub.com/vv2/.
Pies and other food items help make this holiday meal memorable. Donations can be dropped off at Lighthouse Mission’s receiving door/kitchen space in the front of the building at 1312 F St. (please avoid bringing items to the front desk area).
Financial donations may be made at www.thelighthousemission.org or mailed to Lighthouse Mission Ministries, P.O. Box 548, Bellingham, WA 98227.
Lighthouse Mission Ministries has been helping people who are homeless since 1923. It cares for up to 310 people each day and provides a continuum of services aimed at ending homelessness through street outreach, enhanced shelters, addiction recovery, spiritual support, and aftercare.
