Over 380 friends of Lighthouse and RENEW gathered on Saturday, November 15, 2025, for our Thanks-giving for LIFE Breakfast at the Terrace in Paramus, NJ. We celebrated a remarkable milestone: 10 years of partnering in Paterson to make life choices possible and equip families to thrive. Together, we’ve witnessed thousands of lives saved and changed through the power of faith, compassion, and community. Highlights of the event included testimonies from parents served by our Paterson Center, and meeting a 12-year-old Lighthouse “baby.” Our featured speaker, Pastor Terry A. Smith, encouraged guests to be peace-makers and spread God’s Shalom in our community. A special treat was getting an up-close look at RENEW entrepreneurs’ small businesses. You can meet them HERE.
Over $130,000 in support was raised toward our EVENT GOAL of $180,000 to fund 100 DAYS of saving and changing lives TOGETHER! Every day and every donation matters, because every life matters! Visit this page to donate to the Paterson Partners for LIFE Center!
