A Morning to Remember!

Thank you for joining us for our annual Beacon of Hope Breakfast.

Our community gathered together on October 15th to share inspiring stories from program participants, staff, and volunteers. We also provided opportunities to get involved so that together, we can ensure every young person who reaches out for help finds an open door.

If you attended our event, thank you for taking time to join us and learn more. If you weren’t able to attend or you would still like an opportunity to show your support, it’s not too late to donate in support of our Open Door Breakfast. It’s our only fundraising event of the year and all donations go directly to our programs.

We also invite you to visit our event page where we’ll share photos after the event.

Thank you again! Together, we’re helping hold the door open for hope for local youth and families who need it most.

Interested in sponsoring next year’s event? Please contact our Vice President of Development.
