Mental Health matters!  No one should struggle alone.

Light A Lamp's focus is on promoting positive mental health and supporting those who are struggling with mental or physical health challenges.

We stand alongside those struggling with grief, illness, severe anxiety, or depression in tangible ways, providing care packages and connection groups that offer mental health resources, daily necessities, and comfort items.

Hope and Healing Baskets

When someone suffers grave illness, injury, or loss of a loved one, they need compassion and caring.  With our Hope and Healing Baskets, we hope to provide a bit of solace to those who are struggling.

Light A Lamp is proud to partner with the Spokane Police Chaplaincy to help them in their mission to provide support to those who have suffered a sudden loss.

One of our core purposes is to make a difference in the community by participating and providing volunteer opportunities that inspire compassion and selflessness.

Who We Are

Light a Lamp began serving the community in 2014 and became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2019.  Our mission is to foster a community where individuals facing mental health challenges, grief, or illness are uplifted through meaningful resources, essential support, and opportunities to connect.

Our primary focus is promoting positive mental health through programs like Project Lift Up, a mental health program supporting youth in our local schools.  We also provide Hope and Healing Baskets to those struggling with grief or illness, as well as do several community outreach events.

We're a small team of volunteers, supported by donations from local businesses and individuals in our community.

Who We Help

Jeff Naslund

Principal - Mead High School

Light a Lamp’s ”Project Lift Up” came at just the right time and did what was intended. The simple act of encouragement, some treats, and resources equipped our staff to identify those who could best use it at any given time and gave the necessary pick me up.

But it was also so much more. It truly allowed some of our most vulnerable students to feel seen. To belong. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause!

Activity Director

Angella brought in a box of flameless candles for our residents at Regency @Northpointe. Our residents really seemed to enjoy the candles. One resident in particular wanted it placed in front of her during her lunch. Since that day she has wanted it placed on her tray table when she eats and to have it glowing at bed time.

I feel this has brought joy to our residents in these trying times with COVID-19 making it impossible to have their families in the facility. So we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU from the residents and staff at Regency.

Help Provide A Light In The Darkness

Light A Lamp's programs are funded by donations from the community, and powered by the amazing work done by our volunteers.

Our generous sponsors and donors make it possible for us to provide our mental health packages to more schools, and to support those in need with our Hope and Healing Baskets.  You can help by donating to Light A Lamp or participating in one of our fundraising activities!
