Officially founded in 1993, the mission of the Light House Café is to transform the Glades area through God's grace, love, and peace by bringing together diverse groups to provide food, counseling, and a helping hand to all. We want our ministries to help bridge denominational and racial barriers for the benefit of the entire community by bringing Christian congregations throughout the Glades together to minister to those in need.
Located in the heart of Belle Glade, Florida, our doors are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to noon. Each day, our dedicated volunteers prepare hot, balanced, and nutritious meals from food donated by food banks, farmers, and churches throughout South Florida. All meals served are free to anyone who comes in. At the Lighthouse Café, we strive to give more than just food to those in need. We want to provide sustenance for the body and soul and offer a helping hand to those interested in entering a Christian drug and alcohol recovery program. We also extend our provisions through the outreach of our family-focused ministry, Ella's Closet.
The support of our community is vital to our missions and ministries. Please consider joining us in making a difference throughout the Western Glades Communities. Whether it is through volunteering, a monetary donation, a monthly sponsorship, or supporting us when shopping at Amazon.com, truly, no gift amount is too small to make an impact.
