The Light House Mission of Terre Haute was founded in 1890, by a parishioners of the First Congregational Church of Terre Haute. It is interesting that I get to blog about the Mission, because I actually have volunteered over 150 hours there. The Mission is currently under the direction of Rev. Tim Fagg. The Mission supplies over 400 meals each day, and 43,653 nights of lodging for those in need of shelter. Another thing the Mission does, is it supplies Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for those in need of food during the winter season. Also, Toys for Tots teams up with the Mission and Salvation Army to supply toys for those families not blessed enough to be able to purchase gifts for their family. The mission's current budget exceeds one million dollars, which is about fourteen times its budget in 1988 of $70,000. Countless people have been touched through either the services they mission supplies or the volunteer work they have done at the mission, and in the years to come I know many more will be.
