4. What began as an effort to provide food and clothing from the back door of a local church has grown into a family of agencies providing a continuum of services designed to move people from crisis and instability to self-sufficiency and independence. Included within this family of agencies are • Lighthouse of Oakland County, Inc. - the parent corporation providing administrative and fund raising services to all parts of Lighthouse • Lighthouse Emergency Services -the most comprehensive emergency services center in Oakland County • Lighthouse PATH - the first and most successful transitional housing program in Oakland County • Lighthouse Community Development - the most successful non-profit housing corporation in Oakland County • 9-9-13 Emailed Lizabeth Wiggins (248-972-1480)

5. Note from Liz on possible volunteer opportunities: • “Typically I like to create experiences that will allow you to do some team building as a group. Sometimes we have to break into larger sub groups of maybe 10 to 15 but we reconvene to debrief at the end of the experience if that is necessary. I also like to give you a meaningful and impactful experience with as much client contact as possible.” • We have a residential community for homeless moms and their children and as the moms become self-sufficient and move out, we refurbish the house or apartment for the next family that is moving in. • It will also be holiday time and we will be running our adopt a family full throttle at that point so there will be a mountain of presents in a local church gymnasium in Pontiac to be sorted and packed up for the adopted families.

6.
