It’s NOT your fault
It’s Not Your Fault-Sexual Assault is a Crime is service project that our club designed in collaboration with our local domestic abuse shelter to relieve the shame and guilt felt by sexual assault victims and encourage them to get immediate help.
Birthing Kits
Half a million women die annually in childbirth, many from infection, tetanus and other complications.
The contents of a birthing kit are intended to promote hygiene in childbirth and thus preventing the most common causes of related infections.
Lighthouse Women and Children Center
Lighthouse Women & Children Center is ministry in the City of Niagara Falls. We reach out to our community by providing food, clothing, toiletries and the Good News of Jesus. Each month we host The Rose Cafe for women, Kidz Club for children, and The Lighthouse Cafe (a coffeehouse for the general community).
