What a blessing!

Recently the Rusk County Lighthouse Shelters received a grant from the Larry and Shirley Dukerschein Donor Advised Fund with the Rusk County Community Foundation. The Lighthouse does not get funding from the county or city. We rely on donations and grants like this to continue to help the homeless in our county. We will be sure to put this grant to good use!

Thank you Rusk County Community Foundation and Larry and Shirley Dukerschein!
