Lighthouse Recovery for Women

Vikki Luna founded The Light House Recovery Program, and since 2007, this faith-based program has served women recovering from alcohol and drug abuse. The Light House strongly depends on the support of surrounding communities for recovery services. To train women in workplace skills and help the organization financially, Vikki created two businesses in 2015, the Light-WEAR apparel line and the Cornerstone Coffee Company. A third business, Light House Thrift, launched in 2021. The Light House also receives financial and community support from caring business partners, corporate sponsors, and three local churches.

When I Grow Up Global

In early 2006 a group of people from California traveled to Nairobi, Kenya and saw firsthand the devastation caused by poverty and disease to the thousands of children scraping out an existence in the slum of Huruma. We had seen it from a distance and had read about it, but to see it and smell it – changed us.

Within a few months of walking the streets of a desperate slum where extreme poverty trapped thousands of people, we had formed a non-profit organization that would reach and help children around the globe. It would partner with local organizations led by reliable and effective indigenous leaders who could use the resources we could bring.

We called it When I Grow Up because it centers on giving children a different future, a future that involves hope, a future where their dreams can be reached. It involves giving them life and enabling them to grow up and fulfill their dreams.

Central California Food Bank

Central California Food Bank is the largest food bank in Central California serving Fresno, Madera, Kings, Kern and Tulare Counties. With the help of dedicated volunteers through 300+ partner feeding sites, we serve over 350,000 people each month. 54 million pounds of food was distributed to neighbors in need in fiscal year 2021.

Leadership Fresno

Leadership Fresno is one of the Chamber’s most prominent programs and is unlike any other course of its kind. The program was founded in 1984 when a group of community leaders observed Leadership Programs in other major cities and recognized the need to develop leaders in Fresno County who would become a pool of people equipped with the skills, motivation and background to lead this area successfully into the complex decades ahead.
