Volunteer

“Once you walk through the doors of the Mission, you're never the same.”
– Tunch Ilkin, broadcaster, former Steeler and member of Light of Life's Board

Tunch Ilkin has been volunteering at Light of Life for the past 20 years. If you are like him, you have compassion for those less fortunate and desire to help in a meaningful way—to truly make an impact on people’s lives. That’s why Tunch and his buddy and former teammate, Craig Wolfley, continue to volunteer at the Mission in spite of their busy schedules.
