In 1984, a small group of individuals, churches, and the synagogue in Lowndes County, Georgia, formed Lowndes Associated Ministries to People (LAMP) as a clearinghouse that would monitor and steward the
distribution of local assistance dollars. Over
the years, LAMP has become more than
just a clearinghouse, it is now the
local mission for the homeless for
Lowndes County and the
surrounding area.
LAMP is funded through
grants and private
donations from the
community.

What We Do
LAMP provides temporary emergency shelter to men, women, and families in Lowndes and surrounding counties. In addition to temporary housings, we provide wrap-around services that include case management and other treatment services.
HOMELESSNESS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE. There is no one-size-fits-all solution that works for everyone. LAMP individually assesses each client's need, then develops a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of that person's homelessness.
