Due to space and health safety restrictions, we are unable to accept gifts of clothes, food, furniture, artwork or soft toys. We encourage you to bring these items to our friends at St. Vincent de Paul.
St. Vincent de Paul provides our guests with vouchers to shop at their stores. This way, our guests can select items they prefer and have the normalcy of shopping for their own items. It’s just another way we show respect and uphold the dignity of our guests at The Beacon.
If you have questions, please call The Beacon at 608-826-8040.
