Ben's Lighthouse Volunteer Open House Planned
The public is invited to join members of Ben's Lighthouse for a special volunteer meeting and open house this week.
Kelly Paredes, program manager for the non-profit organization named in memory of Ben Wheeler, said it will be “a unique meeting.”
The event is open to anyone interested in learning more about the organization and its mission, and for those who are interested in becoming involved.
The program will begin at 7 pm at The Inn at Newtown, 19 Main Street. A nonecumenical organization, Ben's Lighthouse is based out of Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown. Its mission is to “foster all children’s potential to build a more compassionate and connected world. Children become architects of a changed society by practicing empathy, self awareness and volunteerism. Each child’s contribution, small or large, is a benefit to self and society.#HelpingIsHealing.”
