It’s Cold Outside—But Your Warm Heart Can Make a Difference.

As the temperatures drop, the need for safe, warm shelter rises. Too many women and children in our community face the harsh reality of the cold without a place to call home.

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can bring warmth and hope.
💙 $50 provides basic necessities for a mom and her child.
💙 $75 offers a night of warm and safe shelter.
💙 $100 helps families on the road to stability.

Support First Light this Giving Tuesday by sharing this post and donating online at www.firstlightshelter.org or by Venmo @ firstlightinc.
No one should face the cold alone. Together, we can create a refuge of warmth, comfort, and hope.
