Changing Lives is an annual campaign designed to educate the citizens and youth of our community about the plight of the indigent and homeless in Valdosta and Lowndes county.

The campaign is comprised of many programs, events, and activites that are either orchestrated by or take place in schools, churches, businesses, civic organizations, social groups, volunteers, and others.

Every year, our list of events grows, our number of sponsors increases, the success of our fundraising improves, and our mission becomes more widely known.

To further comprehend how valuable your generosity is to this community, it is necessary to understand just what your support provides. You help us:

Give a "hand-up" to people in their time of economic crisis
Provide a safe haven for those in need of emergency and transitional shelter
Provide Life Skills Workshops that promote independent living
Present "how-to" classes that cover varied topics
Enable non-contributing citizens to become productive members of our community
Give the gift of self-reliance
Give people hope for a better and brighter future
Help more than 10% of Lowndes County residents

Thats right! Your participation ensures that we provide the aforementioned services (plus many more) to approximately 11,000 individuals each year.

Furthermore, your support shows others that you are a leader who understands that LAMP is "Changing" the lives of the indigent and homeless.
