Friends of Morning Light, supporting the work of Star Gospel Mission

The Friends of Morning Light believe that women and children facing the hardships of homelessness in the Lowcountry deserve a place of refuge and hope and that it is our community’s urgent responsibility to provide it.

With God at the center and the support of a compassionate network, we are committed to supporting Star Gospel Mission’s work of providing women and children with life-transforming resources that lead to self-sufficiency.

The Friends of Morning Light support the work of Star Gospel Mission,with a focus on establishing a transitional housing program for women and children.
