In this season of thanks and giving, Lighthouse of Oakland County is working to ensure the lights and heat stay on for families in need in these cold months ahead. A simple reminder to give back, a gift to Lighthouse on #GivingTuesday, Tuesday, December 3, 2013, will go a long way beyond the holidays to ensure they can meet the growing need. Lighthouse is grateful to Ford Motor Company Fund for generously matching all donations. The Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) reported more than 130,000 Oakland County families living below the poverty threshold. Spending on holiday gifts can include the gift of charity on #GivingTuesday.
