“A draft copy is distributed to the board for review in advance of the meeting. It is discussed and any questions are addressed. It is voted on and approved and then authorization is given to submit to the irs.”

“Before any votes are taken,especially as they relate to vendors or potential conflicts, the president ensures there are no conflicts. If a conflict of interest is in place, the board member is asked to leave the voting location and a vote is taken without their input. This is noted in the minutes.”

“Through the love of jesus, the lighthouse serves the hurting, hungry and addicted in our community. This is accomplished through 5 programs: 1)operation hope - a hunger relief program which transports, stores and packages food to the needy. This is done directly through a network of local partners with food pantries in the community. 2) faith home - a residential recovery program for men & women suffering from life controlling problems. 3)lighthouse thrift store - provides the community with affordable pricing on gently used goods, clothing and furniture. The proceeds benenfit other programs, especially the faith home. 4)lighthouse freedom center-a local church originally founded for the graduates of the faith home. A church that is meeting the spiritual needs of the community through classes, worship and services.”

“Social enterprise: the taste of freedom food truck was added in may 2022. It is the newest and most delicious enterprise of the lighthouse gospel mission. Serving sandwiches, empanadas and much more. All proceeds go to the lighthouse gospel mission.”
