I’m excited to be part of Beacon’s Halloween Bash Costume Contest! I'm the Program Director for Beacon's Family Housing Program (Rapid Rehousing and Homeless Prevention), and proud of the work we do in our region!

Every $1 donated = 1 vote  

Every vote makes a real difference. Beacon provides essential support for our neighbors experiencing homelessness through different programs, including: 

• Shalom Center: Our day shelter provides meals, showers, laundry, mail delivery, and access to caseworkers, serving dozens of people daily in a safe, supportive environment.
• Phil's Kitchen: Operating out of the Shalom Center, our Phil's Kitchen program provides 2 warm, nutritionally balanced, handmade meals a day, Monday-Friday. 
• Friend’s Place: The only year-round, nonreligious, emergency shelter for adults in the region. Friend's Place provides 40 safe and sober beds, with at least 20 beds reserved for women. 
• Family Housing: This program helps individuals and families quickly transition into stable housing by providing case management and short-term financial support for deposits, rent, and other moving expenses.
• Supportive Housing: A permanent housing program for individuals with disabilities and long-term homelessness. The 110 homes provide stability and support, significantly reducing emergency room visits and incarceration.

Your support keeps these life-saving services available for hundreds of people every day and thousands every year. Thank you for helping me compete and for helping Beacon provide hope and stability in our community!
