Community Involvement

Light of Life

Founded in 1952, Light of Life Rescue Mission (915 Western Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15233. 412-322-4353) is a nonprofit, non-denominational Christian organization providing food, shelter and a life transforming recovery program designed to help people rebuild their lives.

The Mission was originally known as Harbor of Hope, and served as a refuge for transient men. Eventually, recovery programs and services were expanded to include women and children.

In 1979, the Mission purchased several buildings on Pittsburgh's North Side. Today, emergency shelter and men's residential programming take place at 10 E. North Avenue. The recovery program for women and children is held at another North Side facility. Finally, an apartment building on Tripoli Street houses up to twelve men for extended care services.
