Help Matthew raise money

For participating in 2024 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

Hi all,

I’m running the Pittsburgh marathon this May, and after researching nonprofits in Pittsburgh, I wanted to raise money for the “Light of Life Rescue Mission.” 

The Mission supports men, women and children in Pittsburgh experiencing homelessness, poverty, and/or battling addiction. 

Addiction recovery is particularly near and dear to my heart, and I love to help as much as I can. Please consider supporting my mission to raise money to support a cause I’m passionate about!

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:

  1. 500,000+ meals provided through our kitchen & food pantry
  2. 3,000 unique guests served through our emergency shelter
  3. 558 chapel services
  4. 22 Program graduates & completions
  5. 300,000 items distributed through our donations center
