GET INVOLVED

BECOME A MEMBER AND SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Join LAMPLighters!

Why join? Joining LAMPLighters means becoming part of a compassionate and committed sisterhood dedicated to making a lasting impact in the lives of homeless and at-risk children in the Tampa Bay area. Since 1986, LAMPLighters has supported families at Metropolitan Ministries and, since 2002, has broadened its outreach to Joshua House which serves vulnerable children. Through meaningful volunteerism and heartfelt service, members work together to improve the health, education, rehabilitation, and spiritual growth of those in need—while also building deep, supportive friendships with one another.

Annual dues cover our membership year from June 2025 to May 2026.

Member Orientation

Whether you're a brand-new member or someone looking for a refresher, our Membership Orientation is your opportunity to explore all that LAMPLighters has to offer! We'll walk through the ins and outs of our organization—who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved.

Learn about our programs, volunteer opportunities, leadership roles, and more in a relaxed, welcoming setting. To keep things fun and social, we’re asking each attendee to bring either an appetizer/dessert or a beverage to share. Mentors are encouraged to attend with their mentees.

 

Come connect, learn, and get inspired to jump in!

Why the many Membership Levels?
Different membership levels were created to financially support the LAMPLighter
organization and mission at a level that is right for each member. Many members want
an easy and flexible way to give back to the two charities we serve, Metropolitan
Ministries and Joshua House. With the various membership levels, each LAMPLighter
can decide what amount of support is right for them.


We have three main fundraisers: Fall into Fashion, Silver Coffee, & LAMPLighters Fund
Hope, and we count on our members to support them. Tickets for each of these events
are included in several of our membership levels. Whether members can attend the
fundraiser or not, those dollars apply to each event, creating an easy way to support.
Since many members want to sponsor these three fundraisers as well, our highest-level
memberships ($2,500 and above) provide this opportunity.


How it Works
To financially support all three of our fundraisers, we offer a $500 membership that
includes one ticket to each of our three events. We also offer $1,000 memberships that
include two tickets, so you can invite a friend or significant other to accompany you.
Even if you can’t attend all the events, it’s reassuring knowing your ticket value will be
donated towards the charities at 100% value.


If you want to participate in the sponsorship opportunities at our three main fundraisers,
consider doing a $2,500 and up membership. These memberships include two tickets
to each of our fundraisers, advertising recognition in our directory and at all events, and
“flex dollars” that can be used toward any sponsorship opportunity. These higher-level
memberships allow you to customize your financial support and are an easy way to
provide annual financial giving as part of your membership.
