Watch the video at this link to hear the interview. Eric interviewed one of our local neighbors experiencing homelessness, John Benckert, and Lighthouse Mission’s Chief Program Officer, Brittany Hargrove.
Lighthouse Mission Ministries has been helping people who are homeless since 1923. We care for well over three hundred hurting people each and every day. We do this by donating food, providing warm meals, meeting people on the street, by providing a bed, intervening with spiritual care, providing aftercare as well. We are a mission that tries to see the person, not the homelessness. We are a mission that sees what God sees. And we try to love each and every guest just like He does.
Or if your business, or corporation would like to partner with Lighthouse Mission and have your company make a difference in Washington where it will make a real difference, please call (360) 733-5120.
