Greetings and happy holidays from all of us at the Coney Island Lighthouse Mission.  As winter sets in, our organization is facing unprecedented challenges. Hurricane Sandy has left us crippled and unable to help the community as we have for the past 10 years. The flooding swept into the mission, destroying all our equipment, food storage, and even the walls. The services provided here are needed more than ever while this community recovers from the lingering effects of the storm.  With your help we can once again be the place to turn for people in need in Coney Island.  Please click on the donate button to help out.  Every little bit is greatly appreciated.  Thanks and God bless.

Storm-struck mission back in business

Coney Island Lighthouse Mission has raised about a third of the $100,000 it needs to rebuild—enough to buy some appliances and resume its food pantry's and soup kitchen's full schedule.

The Coney Island Lighthouse Mission is dedicated to fighting hunger and poverty in our community through the many services we provide to those in need.  For those families in need of food, we distribute free grocery bags two days a week and serve hot meals to the public every Friday.  Our after-school program began in 2007 and provides homework assistance and tutoring, hot snacks, games, art projects, and bible study for students aged 5-13 Monday-Friday.  We are open five days a week to receive new clients, provide information, and make appointments for free benefits screening with a social worker on-site.  In addition, the Lighthouse Mission conducts special holiday outreach programs such as distributing hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys in the community.

Our mission is to meet the immediate needs of our clients while offering additional, necessary services to help move families toward self-sufficiency.  We provide ESL and GED training, drug and alcohol counseling, housing for several formerly homeless clients, job readiness training, and information on public benefits to reduce the dependence on emergency food.  We want to be known as the place to go for anyone in need in our community!
