LAMP Life Centered Ministries,Inc.

LAMP's ''Garden of Life'' Wish List

Apr 23, 2010

LAMP depends on the volunteerism within it's organization and in our community to create and provide positive experiences, quality programs, and our many outreach activities. We do not have a paid staff, our leadership is not paid, and our services are free. After nine years of service, we continue to press forward and are inspired by the lives being touched and changed and knowing that we have contributed to making a difference in seeking a just society for all people

Our work is not limited to the Russell area, neither are we bound by neighborhood boundaries, we serve in the Metro Louisville Area. People cross the invisible, but understood lines everyday. When those lines are crossed, we want people to see hope, feel welcomed, to know peace, hear laughter, and touch lives. This happens through access, opportunities, and resources.

You may never physically go into the Russell neighborhood, however, your donation can represent you and have a huge impact on so many people. We will never see or know all the people we have touched, yet in our hearts and conscience we will know that we did our part. We have created a wish list and anything you give will be appreciated.
