Christmas is not the only time of year you get to change out your porch lights for colored ones! Using different colored bulbs in your porch can bring awareness to your community. This blog will explain the meaning of 5 colors you can shine to bring awareness. Read on to see how people are supporting their community:
Red Light
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation created a campaign called “shine your light”. May 4th is, well yes, Star Wars day, but also International Firefighters Day. Shine your porch lights red and celebrate firefighters in your community!
Pink Light
Pink brings awareness to survivors of breast cancer. Pink lights could mean that the homeowner or someone close to them battled breast cancer. During October, you may see more pink porch lights for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Green Light
Green lights are most common during St. Patrick’s Day. It also shows appreciation for U.S. Veterans and active Military members! While Memorial Day is only once a year, you can still honor those who have fallen every day of the year with a green light.
Blue Light
Blue symbolizes Autism Month and Police respect. Shining a blue light is a nationwide recognition of the Police Officers who have died in the line of duty. This is also known as, Project Blue Light. Check out our Light It Up Blue for Autism Month blog to learn more about how you can support those with Autism.
Purple Light
In 1989, October became known as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Honor the survivors and victims of domestic violence by lighting your porch purple!
