Community Impact Program (CIP)

The Community Impact Program is a significant 2-year project chosen by the club membership that addresses specific needs of the community.  

​

The current Community Impact Program was designed to assist citizens experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in Sussex County. Always a concern, this need has significantly increased during the covid-19 public health crisis and its aftermath.

​

This program is in affect from January, 2022 through December, 2023 and its goals will be accomplished through a variety of projects and support for existing organizations.  Some of those projects are described below.

​

LIGHTHOUSE FOR BROKEN WINGS / SHELTERING HEARTS

​

Lighthouse for Broken Wings is a transitional house dedicated to helping  those without housing regain their status in the community while having a place to call home.  It is a direct personal development program to improve the quality of life for all individuals in the home. It is managed by Toni Short (R.N.) who herself has experienced homelessness. 

​

The Sheltering Hearts program assists those experiencing

homelessness over the winter months. 

​

Guided by the organization's needs, we assist through monetary
donations for housing; gas and store gift cards; and providing daily
lunches over the winter months for those in the Sheltering Hearts
program.  We have also played Santa and Easter Bunny for the children.
