How your Stock Donation becomes a light in the darkness
For the past 101+ years, the Lighthouse Mission has witnessed the struggles of homelessness. We observe the impact of deep trauma, the pain of addiction, the despair of job loss and the crushing weight of mental health challenges. But we also see resilience, the spark of hope and the transformative power of healing in Christ.
Each day, we strive to bring Jesus Christ as the beacon of light for those navigating homelessness. We provide warm meals, safe shelter and crucial resources like addiction recovery, budgeting, parenting and job training. But we cannot do it alone.
Your Stock Donation: A Powerful Catalyst for Change
On Nov. 29, 2019, the stock market was at 28,051 at the end of the day. Five years later, the market is hovering just below the 45,000 level. That’s a 17k-point increase in five years. That can mean a heavy capital gains tax for you if you sell. But, get this, what if you didn’t sell but donated instead?
That’s where you come in.
Imagine this:
- Your gift provides a warm bed and a hot meal for someone seeking refuge from the cold winter nights.
- Your contribution funds our addiction recovery program, offering a lifeline to individuals battling substance abuse and helping them reclaim their lives.
- Your support empowers us to expand our job training initiatives, equipping people with the skills they need to secure stable employment and break free from the cycle of homelessness.
