Day Programs
Volunteers help to fill a vital need at First Light by offering guests various activities that help them forget, even for a short time, that they are homeless and living in a shelter. Group activities conducted by volunteers may include:
Bible study and communion to nurture the guests' spiritual needs
AA meetings
NA meetings
Makeovers to make the ladies feel special
Field trips to the ballet or a Birmingham Southern football game just for fun
A spa day at First Light so that the ladies can be pampered with facials, manicures and massages
Arts and crafts activities, often with the purpose of helping the guests make gifts for loved ones
A talent show so that the guests can share their special talents with the whole group
We are so grateful to our wonderful volunteers for their creativity, time, resources and compassion for the women and children at First Light. If you have an idea for a day program, please do not hesitate to contact the Volunteer Manager to discuss further details.
