Special Projects
Similar to our meal ministry and recovery programs, our volunteer projects serve as a means through which Light of Life reaches out to those in need in the Greater Pittsburgh community. These projects assist the men, women and children in our programs by providing them with food and personal care products, educational supplies and useful items for creating a clean and comfortable home.
The projects also include opportunities such as our Vision Tours which provide our partners and volunteers with a first hand experience of the Mission and the life changing work that takes place within our doors.
Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 412-803-4161 to discuss your involvement with these projects, to check available dates for the Meal Ministry projects, and to schedule arrangements for dropping off your Special Projects at our locations.
Thank you for your interest, we look forward to working with you soon!
