Beacon Ministry is the churches of the community coming together to provide a beacon to those who have hit rough waters in their lives. Beacon attempts to break the chains of poverty by providing mentoring, life coaching, financial assistance, referrals to helping resources, a hot meal and spiritual support group. Free furniture is also collected and distributed to those in need. Volunteers are needed for the Beacon call line which operates 9 am to 3 pm Monday through Thursday in Belleville. Help is needed with the pick up and/or delivery of furniture to families in need on Saturdays. Contact Carol Haffner Meyer directly at Beacon to help with these needs at (618) 222-8942.
Additionally, Beacon serves Relational Meals twice a month to the homeless and near homeless. Meals are on the second and third Wednesdays of every month. Volunteers are needed to assist with preparing and sharing a meal one month a year on behalf of our church. If you would want to assist with this, contact Linda Gruchala at (618) 558-8190.
