Lighthouse participants had an amazing time at a cooking class with Chef Greg at Recipes for Success! They rolled up their sleeves and learned how to make pasta from scratch, prepared delicious meatballs, and discovered the difference between fresh and dried herbs. 🌿 Of course, the best part was sitting down together to enjoy their delicious creations for lunch! What a fun and tasty day filled with learning, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. ❤️

Lighthouse Treasure Coast participants recently volunteered at Mustard Seed Ministries in Fort Pierce, where they assembled nearly 300 hygiene kits for individuals experiencing homelessness. A heartfelt thank you to Mustard Seed Ministries for providing this meaningful opportunity to serve our community. Our participants enjoyed spending time together, feeling productive, and making a positive impact on the lives of others. We're proud to support our community—one act of kindness at a time.
