Come Help Us Celebrate Our 40th Anniversary

In this, our 40th year of service to the Merrimack Valley, Lazarus House Ministries renews our Founders' commitment to St. Mother Teresa to provide our Guests Food, Clothing, Shelter, Advocacy, and Community Outreach. Our work in offering Food, Clothing, and Shelter is but the basics of instilling dignity and respect in our Guests. Events like Hike for Hope 2023 assists us in accelerating families in establishing worthwhile employment, schooling for their children, and a return to a healthy lifestyle that sustains them for years, not just weeks. Many of our Guest's have gone on to own their own businesses, become leaders in our community and instill in their children the need to help others. Thank you for participating in this most worthwhile event, and we hope you have a great Hike for Hope this year.
