From the Bottom of My Heart… THANK YOU! ❤️

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. What an incredible Harvest Festival!

As I’ve had a little time to catch my breath and reflect on Saturday, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. What started as months of planning, preparation, hard work, and more than a few moments of wondering, “Are we really going to get all of this done?” turned into an absolutely amazing day!

To every single person who helped make this event possible, THANK YOU!

To all of the wonderful people who donated items for our silent auction and live auction, baked goods, homemade goodies, crafts, produce, and so many other things… your generosity was incredible. Every donation helped make the day special and, more importantly, helped support the mission of The Lighthouse.

To everyone who came out early to help set up, worked throughout the day, and stayed afterward to tear everything down and clean up, I cannot thank you enough. There were so many people working behind the scenes that most never even saw. Your time, your energy, your willingness to jump in wherever you were needed, and your servant hearts meant more than you know.

And to our wonderful community, who showed up and supported us, thank you! Thank you for coming, bringing your families, buying auction items, enjoying the food and activities, sharing our event, and simply being there. Your support means the world to us.

There were so many people who played a part in making this day successful that I’m sure I would leave someone out if I tried to name everyone. Please know that every act of kindness, every donation, every hour volunteered, every purchase, every share, and every person who walked through our gates made a difference.

And ultimately, this is what it’s all about.

Every dollar raised goes toward helping provide a loving home, meaningful activities, opportunities, purpose, and a wonderful quality of life for the residents of The Lighthouse. They are the reason we do what we do, and seeing our community come together to support them is incredibly humbling.

I truly believe God blessed this event through the hands and hearts of so many people. We could never do what we do at The Lighthouse without the incredible support of our community.

Saturday was more than a fundraiser. It was a beautiful picture of what can happen when a community comes together with generous hearts and a common purpose.

So from my heart, from our staff, and especially from the residents of Lighthouse Christian Home, THANK YOU! ❤️

You helped make the 2026 Harvest Festival one we will never forget.

We are blessed beyond words.

With a very grateful heart,
Tracy Giles
Executive Director

Well, we cannot start this week without talking about how wonderful last week’s
Great Fish Community Challenge pop-up donation station was at First Interstate Bank in Kalispell! It was amazing to see so many wonderful nonprofits gathered together, and we made a point to visit each one and spend a few minutes talking with them about their organizations.

It is truly wonderful to hear all the stories and learn about the incredible things these nonprofits are doing throughout our valley and the many lives they are touching. It is such a blessing to be a part of this amazing community of organizations that are working so hard to help others. ❤️

A big shout-out to Wings Cancer Center, Logan Health Foundation, Loon Lake 4-H Camp, and the Alano Club of Kalispell. We are so grateful for the work you are doing in our community! And, of course, a very special thank you to the Whitefish Community Foundation for bringing all of us together and making these wonderful pop-up events possible. Without their support, and commitment to our local nonprofits, opportunities like these simply wouldn’t happen. We are truly grateful to be part of something that brings so many amazing organizations together to share their stories, and make a difference across the valley.

Please join us again Tuesday 9/1 at 11:30-3:00

The pop-up donation station will be at Stockman Bank in Whitefish, and Lighthouse Christian Home will be there again!

Come out and say hello, learn more about who we are and what we do, and meet some of our wonderful residents. We would absolutely love to see you!

WOW… OUR COMMUNITY IS SHOWING UP! 3RD PLACE!!

I honestly don’t even have the words to describe how amazed I am watching our community rally around Lighthouse during the Great Fish Community Challenge!

Our donors are stepping up. Our friends are sharing. Businesses and community partners are getting behind us. And one by one, you are helping catapult Lighthouse up the leaderboard!

WE ARE CURRENTLY IN 3RD PLACE OUT OF 89 NONPROFITS!

Think about that… 3rd place out of 89 incredible nonprofits. All doing amazing work in our community! We are absolutely blown away by your generosity and support.

But we’re not ready to stop yet!
Let’s see if we can CLIMB even higher!

We have some pretty competitive nonprofits in the running! And they will be climbing the leaderboard in the next few days!

We have an opportunity to make this our BEST GREAT FISH COMMUNITY CHALLENGE EVER, and we need YOU to help us keep the momentum going!

Every donation matters.
Every share matters.
Every conversation matters.
Every person who tells someone else about Lighthouse matters.

So let’s keep pushing!
Let’s keep sharing!
Let’s keep inviting our friends, family, coworkers, businesses, churches and neighbors to be part of this incredible journey!

We are so incredibly grateful for every single person who has already given, shared, encouraged and cheered us on. You are helping make a difference in the lives of the beautiful residents who call Lighthouse home.

Yesterday we were out in Lakeside at Glacier Bank for another Great Fish Community Challenge pop-up, and once again, you could feel the excitement in the air!

It was so much fun seeing so many incredible nonprofits come together, including, Loon Lake 4-H Camp, Wings Regional Cancer Support, West Shore Food Bank, and so many others. There is something really special about being surrounded by organizations that are all working in different ways to make our community stronger.

One of my favorite parts of these Great Fish Community Challenge events is the opportunity to visit with other nonprofits, share what we’re doing, exchange phone numbers, and talk about ways we can collaborate in the future. We may each have a different mission, but we all have the same desire, to make a difference in the lives of the people and families we serve.

That is one of the things I love most about the Great Fish Community Challenge. The Whitefish Community Foundation has created so much more than a fundraising opportunity. They have created a space where nonprofits can come together, get to know one another, build relationships, learn about each other’s missions, and discover ways we can work together.

For Lighthouse Christian Home, it has also given us an opportunity to introduce our ministry to people who may not have known who we were or what we do. Every conversation, every connection, and every new relationship helps us tell the story of Lighthouse and the incredible people we are blessed to serve.

There is truly something special about watching our community rally around so many wonderful nonprofits. We are stronger together!

And we’re not done yet!

Please join us tomorrow in Kalispell at First Interstate Bank from 11:30-3:00!Lighthouse Christian Home will be there, and we would LOVE for you to stop by, say hi, and meet our beautiful humans!

Come hear a little about who we are, what we do, and why our Lighthouse family is so special. We would love to see you!

Thank you, Whitefish Community Foundation, for bringing us together and creating this incredible community of giving, connection, and collaboration. We are so grateful to be part of it!

Shout out to our chicken mascot, Darlene, for representing The Lighthouse and the Farm!😂 We love our people and their willingness to have a little fun while representing The Lighthouse!

Sometimes, the best way to understand what The Lighthouse means is to hear directly from the families whose lives have been touched by it.

Meet Hannah and Kaitlin
Just four months ago, Hannah and Kaitlin became part of the Lighthouse family. Their families hoped to find a place where their daughters would be safe, loved, cared for, and truly have a place to call home.

They found The Lighthouse, and in just four short months, they are already seeing their daughters blossom in ways they never expected.

Kaitlin’s mother recently shared that her sister, who was visiting from Japan, was amazed by the change she saw:
“My sister recently visited from Japan and could not get over how much Kaitlin has blossomed since moving to The Lighthouse, stating that the change was so positively dramatic.”

She went on to share words that beautifully capture what The Lighthouse means to their family:
“All these years, I could only hope for a place where Kait is safe and cared for, and The Lighthouse is that and so much more than I could have ever dared to hope for or imagine, so much so that there is even space for her to grow.”

That is what your support makes possible.

The Lighthouse is a safe place, a place to build friendships, a place to discover purpose, and a place to try something new and realize:
“I can do this.”

It is a place where families can breathe a little easier because they know their loved one isn't simply being cared for, they are living life.

Sometimes growth looks like trying an activity for the first time. Sometimes it means making a new friend, coming out of your shell, discovering joy, or finding confidence in something that once seemed out of reach.

These moments may look small to someone else.

But to a family who has spent years wondering what their loved one's future would look like, they are everything!

Hannah and Kaitlin are just beginning their Lighthouse journey, and already their families can see the difference.

Your gift doesn't simply help Lighthouse operate. It helps create possibilities.

Thank you for believing in our mission, believing in our residents, and believing that every person deserves a place to belong.

We hope you will join us again this year during the Great Fish Community Challenge and help us continue creating a place where adults with developmental disabilities can belong, live meaningful lives, and thrive.

To make your gift, please donate through the Whitefish Community Foundation by check, credit card, or go online to WhitefishCommunityfoundation.org, and choose Lighthouse!
