Son Light House

Feed the hungry, clothe the needy and spread the word of salvation to the masses.

Established in 1982, by the late Wilbur Baskin, the Son Light House is a non-profit, ecumenical, community-supported resource that distributes food, clothing and furniture to eligible individuals and families. The Son Light House operates primarily off of donations from organizations such as local boy and girl scout troops, local Rotary and Lions clubs, individual donations, and the support from more than 45 other local churches! In the words of one of our directors, Ken Frey “We could not do this without the community support. We are all volunteers; nobody is paid. Ken and Delores Frey are the husband and wife directors who follow closely the words of Matthew 25: 35-40, which says, “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink . . . I needed clothes and you clothed me.”

The Son Light House’s volunteers distribute bagged and boxed food items that include desserts, bread and canned goods that are, for the most part, not easily spoiled. The mission and the sole reason for the distribution continue as indicated on the non-profit’s Facebook page that says, “To God be the glory.”

The Need: The Son Light House is asking for your donations during this year's Raise the Region specifically to support the purchase and installation of a new refrigeration unit. This unit allows this organization to serve their community with frozen and refrigerated goods, like frozen turkeys and hams at the holidays, various meats and milk throughout the year, and other cold goods to benefit the recipients. This was quite a large expense for this non-profit, so every dollar counts! 

Thank you!
