?Beacon of Hope provides sack lunches to needy children during the summer months, when many of their daily meals include school lunch programs. Without this vital program, many children go hungry during the day.

Code Blue Warming Center
After 10 years of service, we are retiring our Code Blue shelter. We will, however, continue to provide assistance to our homeless individuals with meals, emergency motel placements, hygiene kits, and seasonal clothing. If you are seeking shelter when a code blue is declared, please contact 211 for shelter locations. It continues to be our pleasure to serve those in need. Thank you
