We at The Shining Light provide a team approach
All of our staff are volunteers
Dawn Worth - Executive Founder & Director - Dawn is the The Heart and Soul of The Shining Light
Shawn Worth -Husband of the Director, Driver for all of our clients and food box deliveries.
Caitlyn Barlow- Daughter of Shawn & Dawn is our weekly food box coordinator and keeps track of all non-perishable food donations (incoming and outgoing)
Dawn completed the Addictions Counsellor Program through CDI College with Honors Graduating in May 2022 and most recently graduated from Willis College with Honors in Feb 2024 with a second degree in Addiction Counselling and majoring in Psychology.
Dawn was heavily involved with Harvest House Grand Falls until it closed it's doors in Jan 2022.
This was the driving force for Dawn to start The Shining Light so that she may be a beacon unto others.
Helping those in need has been a passion for Dawn for many years, and opening The Shining Light Outreach Recovery Center was the realization of how God put her in this position.
None of this would be possible without the love & support of her husband Shawn, daughters Caitlyn & Emma, Dawn's parents Graham & Iris Merricks and for those who pray for the center and private donations to help keep it running.
We do not take a pay from running the center as this is where God has placed Dawn and despite the costs and challenges of everything, she has continued on with this outreach service.
