President’s Message
Dear friends, volunteers and sponsors
For more than four decades, Lighthouse Charity Team has stood beside first responders, families in crisis, and organizations serving our community. What began as a small group with a big heart has grown into a team dedicated to showing up when it matters most.
It is an honor to serve alongside men and women who give their time, talent, and energy to support Galveston County-and beyond when called upon across Texas. Thank you for taking the time to learn about Lighthouse. We invite you to see firsthand how service, leadership, and community come together to make a difference. Together, we continue to be a guiding light.
We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your continued support of the Lighthouse Charity Team and look forward to working with you to create a brighter future for those in need.
Sincerely,
John Bertolino Sr.
President, Lighthouse Charity Team

Want to be part of positive change?
We invite you to join our team of volunteers and experience the satisfaction of making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
We help other organizations raise funds for people needing medical attention or support their families and loved ones by cooking and serving food at their fundraising events. And during a hurricane or community disaster, we provide hot food and water for victims and first responders.
“People Helping People”
Cooking for a Cause
The Lighthouse Charity Team is a 501-C-3 Non Profit Organization that provides volunteers and cooking equipment for causes that benefit the Galveston County area during disasters and community building efforts.
For over 35 years we’ve been making a difference when we show up in our red trucks and food trailers to help feed victims and First Responders of natural and man made disasters. When we aren’t working on disaster response, you’ll find us in the community helping other non-profits raise funds by offering our food and services.
Covid did not bypass us. Our fundraising efforts have been affected, along with our lower number of volunteers.
In the spirit of giving back and as the year draws to a close, we would love to be the nonprofit that you donate to. Your tax deductible donation would go a long way towards ensuring the Lighthouse Charity Team remains strong.
Come join us to see and feel what giving to your community is all about. We meet Mondays (excluding holidays) to share a meal while discussing how to help your community. Come join us at 6918 Broadway in Galveston.
Join Us Each Monday Night!
Please join us for dinner and fellowship each Monday night for our weekly meetings at 6918 Broadway St, Galveston, TX 77554.
We start socializing at 5 PM, followed by our Meeting at 6 PM. We close our meeting at 7 PM.
Come learn how we are helping, ways to support our efforts, and how to get involved. We would LOVE to see you there! Call us at 281-482-9400 if you get lost or need directions.
People Helping People – Cooking for a Cause
The Lighthouse Charity Team was founded on a love of cooking and feeding others. Like many Texans our experience began in the backyard with the brick pit where we smoked brisket, ribs, turkey and more. Now, we cook for cause. In fact we cook for many causes. Lighthouse Charity Team provides mobile food preparation trailers, trucks and volunteer labor to charitable organizations as well as emergency response to natural and man-made disasters.
Our loyal volunteers and donors invest themselves in many projects from raising money for non profits to participating in hands on programs to assist low income families and the elderly. We always look for ways we can make a difference in the life of our neighbors.
