Our NEXTGENeration is making a huge impact on local communities.

Kids have the amazing ability to affect change in our world. They have the intelligence, passion, and drive to work toward change. They also have what it takes to inspire others through their actions.

Check out the highlights on this page to see what kids in our community are doing to make a difference.

Pictured below are Zoe and Tessa from Clarkston, MI with our Pantry Manager, James McQueen. These two ladies led their 6th grade class at Cranbrook in collecting personal items for Lighthouse. They raised a total of 349 toothbrushes, plus toothpaste and deodorant!

This is Johnny, he is 10 years old. When he was younger, his family depended on programs like Lighthouse's Adopt-a-Family program to help their family to have a nice Christmas. Now that his family is in a more stable place, he wanted to give back by donating all these wonderful toys to the families who depend on Lighthouse's Adopt-a-Family program. He delivered the items to Lighthouse with his grandfather in December, 2017.
