Celebrating the Impact of 2024: A Year of Blessings and Community Support
As we close the chapter on 2024, we are filled with gratitude and joy for the incredible impact TruLight Ministries has made this year, thanks to the overwhelming support from our community and the unfailing grace of Jesus! Together, we have been able to serve, uplift, and empower those in need right here in Muskingum County. Here’s a look at what your generosity and partnership have accomplished:
- 13,648 nutritious breakfasts served to individuals experiencing homelessness or living in poverty.
- 1,619 showers provided, ensuring hygiene and dignity for those without access.
- 516 loads of laundry cleaned for individuals and families in need.
- 3,640 free Sunday meals shared with individuals and families, offering nourishment and fellowship.
Our Day Center: A Safe Haven
The TruLight Ministries Day Center opened its doors to 7,421 visitors this year, providing essential services, a safe space, and hope for a brighter tomorrow. Beyond food and hygiene, we distributed clothing and furniture to help individuals and families rebuild their lives.
Emergency Winter Shelter: Saving Lives in the Cold
During the harshest months, our Emergency Winter Shelter became a beacon of warmth and safety, welcoming 93 individuals who had nowhere else to go.
Milestones and Fundraisers
This year, our annual One Night In A Box fundraiser brought in over $16,000, allowing us to further our mission and provide essential services. Additionally, the John Geissler Memorial Giveaway blessed over 90 families with Christmas gifts valued at more than $15,000, ensuring that no family went without joy during the holiday season.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we celebrate these accomplishments, we also look forward with anticipation to what God has planned for TruLight Ministries in 2025. We remain committed to sharing the Gospel and expanding our outreach to serve even more individuals and families in need.
