The Beacon says thank you. Thank you to all of the wonderful Chefs, Sponsors, Donors, and Volunteers that made the 2011 Come to the Table event a tremendous success! Please take a moment to review the many participants and sponsors that made this event successful, informative, and delicious.
THE BEACON is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing social and health services to poor and homeless men, women, children, and youth living in the Houston area. The mission of THE BEACON is to provide services that restore dignity, self respect, and hope to Houston's poor and homeless. During 2009, THE BEACON served a total of 10,000 individuals. During 2010, THE BEACON will serve approximately 11,000 individuals.
THE BEACON serves the poor and the homeless through five distinct programs:
A day facility open to Houston's homeless every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, The Beacon provides hot meals, clothing, private shower and lavatory facilities, laundry services, and case management to people living on the streets of Houston.
This program provides transitional housing and supportive services to homeless women who have left the Texas prison or jail system. The goal of Brigid's Hope is to reduce the number of women returning to the criminal justice system by giving women the tools needed to become self-sufficient and to secure a safe and productive life.
This clinic combines primary health care and psychiatric treatment/mental health counseling with intensive case management to address the unique needs of men, women and children living on Houston’s streets.
THE BEACON & its programs are part of Cathedral Health & Outreach Ministries / CHOM, a registered 501(C)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Tax ID # 71-0933434
On October 22, 2011, The Beacon partnered with Crime Stoppers, Marnoble Computers and Main Boxing Gym and taught a women's self defense class to our homeless neighbors.
Thanks to Great Day Houston for helping share the important work of THE BEACON! Thanks to Chef Randy Evans of Haven, and Mike Puccio and Jennifer Bourgeois from THE BEACON for helping us in our mission of providing services that restore dignity, self-respect and hope to Houston’s poor and homeless.
