Make a Financial Contribution

BEACON currently has three part-time staff members. Our office expenses include utilities, office supplies, postage, and various miscellaneous expenses. Most of the work is done by volunteers, and much of the financial support comes from pledges and the generosity of our partner churches. We try to make the most of what we have to work with and to be good stewards of God's resources.

Money may also be designated as direct help for clients to provide incentives, such as vouchers for gas and food, to those who attend Relational Ministries.

Use Your Talents
