My Story…
"Once you walk through the doors of Light of Life, you will never be the same." Tunch Ilkin
In loving memory of my husband, Tunch, I am running the 2022 Pittsburgh Marathon to fundraise for Light of Life. Please join me in supporting this place of hope and healing for men, women and families who are experiencing homelessness, poverty, or addiction. They transform lives through the love of Christ.
Description
Since 1952, Light of Life Rescue Mission, a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, continues to transform lives for women, children, men, and families experiencing homelessness, poverty and addiction. Light of Life is the place where hope and healing meet. We are igniting transformation through truth-based programming with our continuum of care and the love of Christ. Our goal is to restore those in need to healthy members of our community.
Last year, the impact we made together included:
- 377,000+ meals, between 300-350 meals a day
- 130 beds available in both buildings across all programs
- 3 chapel services for those in need every day
- 153+ in our Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Programs
- 1,500 Thanksgiving donner baskets provides to families in need
