Sponsor Us

First Light Mission is always looking ahead to the future and trying to find new ways to grow our mission and better serve our guests and our community. Because of this focus on growth, it has become our goal to partner with sponsors in the community and have our operational costs completely underwritten each month so that our additional fundraising can go toward new initiatives.

Please read the sponsorship letter below from our Board of Directors.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Letter to Potential Partners

First Light Mission looks much different today than it did even two short years ago. With the tremendous support of churches, partners, and many other individuals, FLM now provides shelter for an average of 20 individuals per day — nearly double the amount from just one year ago. We have moved into a permanent overnight location at the former Merit Learning Center, giving guests a more consistent overnight home during their stay. In addition, FLM has turned the Day Center into an overnight warming shelter during the cold winter months.

Even with these positive changes (and many others), there is much more work to be done. There are a number of projects in the works that FLM will announce in the coming months. In order to be able to adequately fund these projects, we are asking corporations, individuals, and organizations to partner with FLM by underwriting the costs of monthly operations. In this way, other much-needed fundraising can go directly toward upcoming projects that will continue to extend our impact.

It costs FLM $15,000 per month or $7,500 every two weeks to operate. Put another way, it costs $3,000 to house one family for a month or $750 per guest per month.

We are thrilled to announce that we have had five companies who generously agreed to underwrite one month each in 2019 thus far, giving FLM a great start towards our goal of completely underwriting 100 percent of our costs.

Would you, your family, your company, or your organization be willing to underwrite FLM’s overall costs for a month or two weeks or for a family for a period of time? Will you join us in our mission of supporting the homeless community and helping our guests to build better lives?

With appreciation for your support,
FLM Board of Directors
