Thanks to You, We’re On Our Way to Our Playground Goal

Last month, BCI invited all of you who support our work to help us build a playground for the children at The Lighthouse Program. Many of you answered our call with generous donations! So far, you’ve helped us raise a total of $1,782.37, nearly 18% of our goal!

We still have a ways to go to make our goal of $10,000, so let’s keep the contributions coming in! We accept donations using a printable mail-in form, or online through JustGive or American Express. Also, we can use your help in spreading the word, so please email this post to anyone who you think can help.

The Lighthouse Program has been open for just over a month now. Four women and five children are presently admitted and receiving services. Two of the babies are under six weeks old. Last week I had a chance to visit the program and meet all the staff. They are all set up in their offices at DCUSA, ready to move into our building (pictured) in a few weeks once renovations are complete. They are a great group of people who are excited to be starting up these important services.

Very soon, we’ll be announcing an open house during the month of February, so stay tuned for the details and make plans to join us!
