Donate

The reasons individuals make charitable donations can be as varied as the donors themselves. Some give because they have a personal commitment to the cause – they may know a relative, friend, or employee who has been the survivor of domestic violence. They may give because of a more general desire to assist those in need who are less fortunate than themselves – to share the good fortune they have in life. Still, others give not because they have great personal wealth, but because they have a compassionate heart and it feels good to help others.

We are unable to accept clothing donations at this time but will continue to take items that can be used by current participants receiving services. Beacon Center was awarded a grant to renovate part of our facility, and when completed we will be increasing our bed capacity from 60 to 80! Until construction is completed, our space for storage is very limited. For more information about donations we can accept, please contact Jessica Rivers at 386-951-6737 or email her at: jrivers@mybeaconcenter.com

Make A Donation

We are often asked, “What does your shelter need?” The best answer is to look at the items you use every day in your home. That is what we need. Due to the number of individuals who enter the emergency shelter, there are some items that we always need to replenish every month. We hope the following wish list will give you an idea of the items you could donate.
