Strongwater Farm
Strongwater Farm is a therapeutic equestrian center out of Tewksbury, MA that offers programs to a wide range of individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Their clients include individuals with autism, veterans with a range of conditions such as PTSD, individuals with substance use disorders, and seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia. For 2023, the Lightship team and clients financially supported Strongwater through donations and raised over $10,000. This helped cover the cost for hay for all 15 of their horses for the upcoming winter months. In addition to the donations, Lightship and client volunteers participated in a volunteer day at the farm to help clean up their grounds after a summer of heavy rains.
Birthday Wishes
Birthday Wishes is committed to making a difference in homeless children’s lives. Birthday parties provide the opportunity for reflection, celebration, and hope. While most children look forward to their birthday parties each year, homeless children and teenagers may not get the chance to celebrate. Birthday Wishes provides birthday parties and birthday boxes filled with decorations and presents for homeless children in the greater Boston area. With help from friends and clients, Lightship was able to sponsor the items needed for the birthday boxes and build the boxes for 200 children and teenagers.
Project Bread
Project Bread is an anti-hunger organization committed to providing people of all ages, cultures, and walks of life with sustainable, reliable access to nutritious food.

Project bread approaches hunger as a complex problem with multiple solutions. With funds raised through The Walk for Hunger, the oldest continual pledge walk in the country, and other sources, Project Bread pioneers innovative initiatives and supports effective programs to eradicate hunger.
