A Special Work Party with Kainos Church

We were thrilled to have Kainos Church back in November for another quarterly work party. This year’s event was especially meaningful, as it was the first time our new Board and staff worked side by side with such an amazing group from Kainos Church. The day was focused on improving Beacon Village’s mission to provide trauma-informed environment for our residents. We painted the community space to make it brighter and more welcoming, cleared cutter to create a calming atmosphere, and beautified the village with new plants, flowers, and trees.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports Beacon Village, from our volunteers to our donors. Your contributions have a profound impact on the lives of the unhoused individuals we serve, helping them transform their lives and establish roots in the community. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of this journey with us.

Please contact us if you would like to volunteer at Beacon Village or would like to set up your own work party.
