MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Bring Night Lights to your community
Night Lights supports families who have children with special needs in a profound way! We are excited to announce that we are expanding our program into new communities throughout Colorado and would love to partner with you.
If you are interested in learning more about how you can bring Night Lights to your church please contact us. Whether you are a member of the church staff or simply attend services, we will provide you with the support and tools to build a successful Night Lights.
Night Lights is a Christian-based nonprofit organization; however, we do not require volunteers or families to be a member of any religion or church. We hold strict core values and anti-discrimination beliefs.
TOOLS WE PROVIDE TO GET YOU STARTED:
