Celebrate gratitude with us! Host your own ‘RVA Light Table’ in the Host-a-Table Challenge to support RVA Light.
Host a Table. Share a Meal. Change a Life. This Thanksgiving season, RVA Light invites you to gather together—to celebrate gratitude, community, and the joy of giving back. By signing up as a Friendsgiving Host, you’ll bring your friends and family around your own table for a meal filled with warmth and purpose. During your dinner, you’ll share RVA Light’s story and help raise support for our mission to serve Richmond’s unhoused neighbors with compassion, care, and hope.
How It Works:
- Become a table host using the Orange "Purchase" -Button .
-
You’ll receive a digital Friendsgiving Kit, including:
- A customizable invitation template
- Printable gratitude cards
- A foldable donation envelope
- A giving QR code linked directly to RVA Light’s campaign
- A short video introducing RVA Light and our Friendsgiving goal, as well as a neighbor and his story
- Set a personal fundraising goal—we’re encouraging each host to aim for $500, helping us collectively raise $10,000 to support RVA Light’s reopening and outreach work.
- On your Friendsgiving evening, share the RVA Light story with your guests, take a moment to reflect on gratitude, and invite them to give as they feel led.
- Share a photo of your table online with the hashtag #GatherTogetherRVALight to help spread the light!
Why It Matters:
Your table helps more neighbors find a seat—around a warm meal, within a caring community, and in the light of Christ’s love. Together, we can keep the doors of RVA Light open and continue offering hope and hospitality in Richmond.
