The Lighthouse in Clarkston got a pleasant surprise last week when an anonymous donator provided $1,000 worth of groceries.
‘It was the best surprise,? Lighthouse employee Lisa Mujica said. ‘We usually know when things are coming so this was a fantastic surprise. We were completely out of cereal so it is good to have some.?
The donor, who had quit smoking, decided to take the money she saved in cigarettes and purchase food for the needy.
‘She was real discreet about it. She was real quiet,? Mujica said.
The donor purchased the food at Farmer Jack and the grocery store brought the food over to the Lighthouse.
The food includes staples such as peanut butter, jelly and spaghetti sauce.
‘Farmer Jack was nice enough to bring the food over for us. They said since she had a car and they had a truck it made sense,? Mujica said.
The Lighthouse is located at 6330 Sashabaw Road. They are open from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday but suggest donors call before hand. Their phone number is (248) 620-6116.
