Lighthouse Shops – “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” is a mission of the Riverside Congregational Church since 2018, located on the East St. side of the building. The shops, a food product rescue program, receives quality, unwanted or unneeded products from local stores and makes them available to individuals and families
Wednesday 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Thursday 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM
The Lighthouse Shops is dependent on the donations of our food supply partners and our neighbors that shop with us. To cover the operational costs, “prices” that appear on products are recommended donations in support of the program. No one is ever turned away regardless of their ability to make a donation. Please consider supporting this much needed and valued community program. The shops are open Wednesday and Thursday mornings 8:00 am – 12:00 pm.
The Lighthouse Shops is a program of Riverside Congregational Church, United Church of Christ.
