FOUNDED: Catholic Charities: 1945; The Beacon, 2017
HOW WE HELP: Catholic Charities Diocese, Inc. of Madison cares for families across 11 counties in southern Wisconsin. The Beacon is a key example of our mission in action — it’s a day resource center for people experiencing homelessness, where guests find safety, meals, laundry, showers and connections to housing and employment.
Alongside The Beacon, we provide addiction recovery through 5 Door Recovery, mobile food pantries for rural families, parish social ministries and services for older adults and those with disabilities. Together, our programs help neighbors not just survive — but thrive.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT: Your support makes our mission tangible. At The Beacon, donations provide daily essentials and pathways to stability for thousands of guests each year. Beyond The Beacon, gifts also strengthen addiction recovery services, food pantries that reach rural communities, parish outreach that accompanies families in crisis and care for older adults and people with disabilities. Every monetary contribution fuels compassionate, practical programs that restore hope and dignity for our neighbors across southern Wisconsin.
WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT US:
- Donate money and provide critical support to The Beacon and other programs that serve families in need.
- Volunteer to serve meals, help at our mobile food pantries or support staff at The Beacon.
- Purchase items from our curated Amazon Wishlist that our guests need most, such as hygiene supplies and seasonal essentials.
