About The Lamp Project
Our Mission
At The Lamp Project, our mission as a nonprofit charity is to improve the lives of those in need. We serve individuals experiencing homelessness through one-on-one support, helping with identification, phones, documentation, clothing, groceries, transportation, and connections to shelter. We also host monthly Serve Days that provide essential resources and consistent presence within the community.

The Lamp Project began in September 2025 with one simple encounter at a local park, where helping one individual experiencing homelessness revealed a deeper need for consistent presence and personal support. What started as a small act of care grew into a commitment to walk alongside others who were navigating complex challenges largely on their own. Rather than focusing on quick solutions, The Lamp Project was created to build trust, respond to real needs, and offer support with dignity and compassion. Today, this work continues through one-on-one assistance and monthly Serve Days, guided by the belief that even a small light can make a meaningful difference in moments of uncertainty.

Since our founding, The Lamp Project has helped five individuals, including one couple, successfully transition off the streets through consistent one-on-one support. We work in partnership with the Harris Center for Mental Health and collaborate closely with Ben Taub Hospital and dedicated social workers to help individuals navigate complex systems. Our efforts include providing groceries, clothing, and assistance with Social Security and Medicaid, as well as supporting people as they move toward greater stability and care. Each success reflects the power of steady presence, trusted relationships, and practical help tailored to individual needs. We also organize serve days to engage the community in these vital efforts.
