What We Do

Light A Lamp Mission Statement

Light a Lamp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which offers assistance to vulnerable groups struggling with mental or physical health challenges and recognizes inner strength. Two of our main areas of focus are youth struggling with anxiety or depression and families of children born with cleft lip and palate.

We provide inspirational gift packages that include specialized daily necessities, resources, and options for connection groups.

Project Lift Up

Project Lift Up is a suicide prevention and mental health support program for youth in local schools. Through a partnership with counseling departments and leadership staff, confidential care packages are provided for students struggling with feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, or depression. Our goal is to let our youth know that they are not alone, and hopefully prevent self harm or harm to others.

Cleft Lip & Craniofacial Family Support

Light A Lamp works with the Providence Maxillofacial Program associated with Sacred Heart Children's Hospital to support families of children born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. We provide specialty feeding systems, "Welcome Baby" gift baskets, family connection groups, and much more! Helping these families and being a part of the Spokane Cleft Team is an honor.

Recognition

Employers can nominate an employee to be a recipient of one of our gift basket deliveries. This gift of appreciation is a simple act, but employers have found that when their employees feel valued and appreciated, this creates a more positive and productive work environment. These local heroes are recognized for their exceptional work ethic, volunteering, or for inner strength during challenging time like grief or illness.

Community Outreach

Every year, we visit and bring gifts of encouragement to local assisted living homes to brighten the day of the residents. Light A Lamp creates opportunities for youth groups to get involved and partner with us. Our youth learn what it's like to give back, while encouraging our vulnerable groups.
