Trulight Ministries is a faith-based nonprofit in Zanesville, Ohio that serves individuals experiencing
homelessness and those in need within our community. We provide free meals, access to showers and
laundry, and a safe, welcoming environment for individuals seeking support and hope.
For UC Serves 2026, volunteers will have the opportunity to serve directly alongside our team in both
outreach and facility improvement efforts. The project will begin with volunteers helping prepare and
serve a hot breakfast to members of the homeless community from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. This hands-on
experience allows students to engage meaningfully with those we serve while meeting a critical daily
need.
Following breakfast service, volunteers will assist with cleaning and organizing the dining area and
sanctuary to help maintain a clean and welcoming space for ongoing ministry activities.
The final portion of the project will focus on beautification efforts within the facility. Volunteers will help
paint and refresh selected interior walls, contributing to a more uplifting and comfortable environment
for all who enter our doors.
This project offers a unique opportunity to combine direct service with practical improvements that will
have a lasting impact on our community.
