Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from the Lighthouse Literacy Project!

It’s been a while because sometimes the vision and the people need to be renewed! But we are back, and it’s time to give it our inventory! Be on the lookout next week for the launch of our new program!

Until then, love on your family, and if someone doesn’t have a family, extend love to them! That was the Lighthouse way! Give and be love!

Happy Tuesday!!

It’s been a while, but building a solid foundation takes time, strategy, and ex*****on!

While we were away, we received another donation of books, thanks to Min. Linda Johnson!

Now, it’s time to ensure that more books reach our youth, so, with that said, we have an exciting program launching next year!

Stay tuned!

Happy Saturday!

A mobile library is a huge part of our mission, and now that vision is coming to life!

We are excited to share that yesterday the Lighthouse Literacy Project was gifted a van from the Seventh Street Memorial Baptist Church! The vision is unfolding, and we are thankful for the love and support!!
