The Riverside Light

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 as an affordable alternative to retail shopping. 

Whether you are available 2 hours or 20 hours per week, we are always looking for reliable dedicated volunteers to assist us to carry our mission deeper into the community. Monday – Thursday – truck drivers, unload donations, pack boxes, help customers... 

You can now send your weekly, monthly, annual commitments with the convenience of PayPal.  One-time and recurring donations can be made using a Debit or Credit card. No PayPal account necessary to use this service.

To help us minimize the cost of processing online donations, please consider adding $3 to your total donation amount. 

 We have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas items out on display for sale.

Don't forget we are open Saturday October 10th from 9 - 12 PM!

 Volunteer Opportunity: Monday/Tuesday mornings to sort out donations, or Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday mornings while the shop is open.  

We are blessed!  The donations continue to come into the Lighthouse Shops in amazing quantities and our dedicated volunteers are able to meet the needs of our community and beyond.  If you or someone you know is dealing with food insecurity please reach out or simply show up during open shop hours.  

We are here for all!
