Message from the Executive Director:
Welcome to Lowndes Associated Ministries to People, Inc. (LAMP), where compassion, community, and commitment come together to provide hope and stability for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across South Georgia.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Yurshema Flanders, the longest-serving Executive Director in LAMP’s history, LAMP has continued serving the community for more than 40 years with dignity, care, and purpose.
In recent years, LAMP has expanded its impact through initiatives such as Lunch at LAMP, renovations to the Day Center and Jessie’s Place dining hall, expanded mental health services through Legacy Behavioral Health, and the launch of the Youth Rapid Rehousing Program supporting young adults ages 18–24 transitioning from homelessness to independence.
Despite the loss of key federal grants, LAMP remains committed to providing critical shelter and outreach services thanks to the dedication of our staff, community partners, and supporters.
As we look ahead, LAMP continues “Lighting the Way Home” for individuals and families across Lowndes, Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Lanier, and Tift counties—one family, one meal, and one success story at a time.
Yurshema Flanders
With Compassion,
