Beacon's Forever Home

Beacon of Hope could not be more excited to announce that we have found our FOREVER HOME...!!!

The purchase of our new space will allow us to deepen our roots within the community and build equity, creating additional sustainability and security for our organization.

The Nitty Gritty Details:

The property Beacon is under contract to purchase is located at 5111 US 25/70 (the old "Bee Fit" gym/"Mattress by Appointment" building).

The space is 4,800 sf and has enough space for our soon-to-be upgraded thrift store, our food pantry, AND the laundromat, which will remain open to the community, while being brought into the folds of Beacon's programming as a laundromat collective.

Beacon of Hope's due diligence period ended March 31st, with an anticipated closing date for our new home on April 27th.

To that end, we reaching out to YOU, our community, asking for your help to make our dream come true!!

There are several renovation projects necessary to open up the space that will serve as our food pantry, a client choice shopping space needs to be constructed, carpet removal, floors sanded and sealed, a bay door installed, new paint job for our new beginning, signage, parking lot paved and sealed, additional parking spaces chalked off, on top of all of the expenses related to moving an entire on-site 7-day-a-week operation, and securing the final funds necessary for our down payment...WHEW!!!

If you are able to make a financial contribution, that would be absolutely FANTABULOUS!!!

First 50, $100 donations will receive a Beacon of Hope t-shirt

Cheers to the continuously humbling support we receive from our community and to another 26 years of serving the beautiful mountain community we call home!!
