LightWorks is an outreach program
initiated to develop and promote practical and spiritually motivated
projects which bridge gaps in services to those in need in the
community.
Gathering of Light is proud to offer a Starter Pack program. The mission of this program is to provide basic household tools to homeless families newly placed in permanent housing to bridge a gap in services for them an d provide an opportunity for positive outreach to the community.
How many times do you reach for a fork, plate or coffee mug without a thought? Imagine yourself finally in your new home without any of these basic life tools. Did you know that this is the experience of hundreds of homeless Long Island families? Despite the financial assistance they receive, there are no allotted funds for these items.
We are committed to easing the lives of these families by closing this gap and are asking other community organizations to contribute to this effort to provide basic household items to Long Island individuals and families.
The following are items that are placed in the starter Packs any donations are greatly appreciated:
Bath Towels, Plates, Scouring pad, Dish drainer & tray, Bowls, Long handled broom, Mugs, Slotted spoon, Glasses, Spatula, Forks, Ladle, Spoons, Potato peeler, Knives, Small sauce pan with lid, Set salt & pepper shakers, Medium sauce pan, Can Opener, Measuring cup, Dust pan, Set measuring spoons, Colander, Baking pan, Frying Pan, Mixing bowl, Toothbrushes, Washcloth, Dish towel, Stock pot, Dish cloth, Sets of sheets (1 twin, 1 full), Blanket, Shower curtain with hooks, Tall kitchen garbage pail, Mop, Pillows
