With a new facility on the horizon, Lighthouse Mission Ministries will celebrate its 101st year in serving and providing hope to the homeless in Whatcom County with A Brighter Tomorrow Gala & Auction on May 11.
The evening at the Ferndale Events Center, 5715 Barrett Road, will include a delicious dinner, heartwarming stories and opportunities to support neighbors who are homeless, according to Hans Erchinger-Davis, president and CEO of Lighthouse Mission Ministries, a Bellingham-based nonprofit organization.
The gala will begin at 5:30 p.m. with attendees encouraged to wear attire in the style of the 1950s. Live music and a photo booth will be included.
If still available since tickets are almost sold out, early bird tickets are available through April 12 for $90 per person or $650 for a table of eight. Remaining tickets will be offered for $100 per person or $750 for a table of eight. If all tickets are sold, interested parties may sign up on a waiting list in case cancellations occur. For reservations or more information, visit www.thelighthousemission.org or call (360) 671-1562 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.
All proceeds from the evening will help men, women and children experiencing homelessness in our community.
Hope can be seen with construction of a new Lighthouse Mission facility at 910 W. Holly St., which will replace the 24-hour Base Camp homeless service center on 1530 Cornwall Ave. Construction is expected to be completed late this year.
The new facility will include micro-shelters for families, working guests, elderly guests, and guests requiring mental health care. These micro-shelters will increase the Lighthouse Mission’s total overnight shelter capacity by 100 people. The number of total beds available overnight will go from 200 beds to 300 beds, with additional overflow capacity of 100 during severe weather.
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. To make a donation or volunteer, call (360) 733-5120, or visit www.thelighthousemission.org.
