Supply Drives

First Light relies on donations of breakfast items, cleaning supplies, medicines, and more to serve our guests daily.

Get creative—organize drives around fun themes like National Dentist Day or National Laundry Week, or host a housewarming party for a guest moving into permanent housing.
