Light and Love Home presents: Blessed is the One Who Considers the Poor 2022
Fundraiser to support the poor in developing countries returns after last year’s success
Mar. 20, 2022, Vancouver, BC – Light and Love Home Vancouver, a Christian charity organization that supports those in need both locally and globally, announced the return of the “Blessed is the One Who Considers the Poor” fundraiser event. The month-long project-based fundraising portion will last from Nov. 12 to Dec. 11, 2022, with the live charity presentation scheduled on Dec. 18, 2022.
Last year, 97 individuals or groups chose various ways to ask for pledges: talent performances, charity sales, set goals for self improvement, or showing acts of kindness. Over CDN$50,000 were raised through pledging on projects or from general donations. All proceeds went to support Light and Love Home’s charity programs and services globally.
“The event was a great success,” said Light and Love Home’s executive director. “Participants from all ages here in Vancouver were passionate to help the poor. They realized that they’re blessed and abound while growing up in a first-world city like Vancouver when compared to the families and communities that we’re helping in poor countries who can’t even meet basic needs like housing or food.”
Light and Love Home continues to strive for its mission through this charity event: to spread the love of Jesus Christ by serving communities and caring for the needy. Together with affiliates around the world, it builds communities that love and help one another.
Light and Love Home’s global programs include building children’s homes and daycare centres, providing education scholarships and free meals to students, and aiding families with food and loans to set up home businesses to alleviate poverty. Volunteers also visit the poor countries for the global projects and to meet with the beneficiaries.
In Vancouver, Light and Love Home volunteers bring joy to seniors through senior home visits and interest classes. They also support children and youths through seasonal day camps, and programs to learn interpersonal and life skills.
