FIRST LIGHT FOUNDATION OF HOPE
We are a faith-based registered not-for-profit charity located at 253 Simcoe Street S in Oshawa, Ontario. Our aim is to provide aid in the reduction of poverty in our communities. We cater to the lost, hurting and marginalized and wish to help better their lives Spiritually, Physically, and Mentally.
We believe that the marginalized, impoverished, low-income, homeless, and addicted members of society need more than just a handout but also need a “hand up”. By introducing whole living to those willing participants, we can influence their lives for the better while simultaneously benefiting our communities and infrastructure at large.
Our concept was birthed in the summer of 2016 over 30 days of prayer and inner reflection every morning between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM. While watching the sunrise each morning during the month of August 2016, it came to me during the “First Light” of morning’s dawn. God’s name in Hebrew is YAHWEH.
