I first learned of Beacon House through Don Wrigley who invited me to San Pedro to help me with my own non-profit. Don was kind enough to give me the complete tour and introduce me to many people who once was a residence and now are back as volunteers. Beacon House is an inspiration to us all. Wouldn't the world be a better place if helping others was our focus. God Bless you Don and Beacon House

I first learned about the Beacon House through one of their monthly "Bistro Nights" where the men serve delicious meals and provide great customer service. During that event is where I got an insight about the organization. All the men there were humble and grateful. One of the current staff members mentioned that he went through the program and wanted to give back by joining the staff. I will continue to attend their "Bistro Nights," which provides yummy food and great real-life skills.

My son was a drug addict and an alcoholic and I held out very little hope for him. It was only when he came to Beacon house that he began his recovery process. This organization performs miracles on hopeless cases and enables them to become usefull citizens in the community. I will support the Beacon house for my lifetime.

The Beacon House saved my family by saving my brother's life. I cannot say enough good things about this organization. My brother and family suffered for decades because of his alcohol and drug abuse. After his time at Beacon House, he is a new man, and we are blessed to have our family back together again! I thank God for the Beacon House Association, and it is my privilege to help them in any way I can.

Our son was deeply addicted to heroin. His addiction was destroying his life and seriously harming members of our family. We were all hurting. We finally had to tell our son that we would have no more contact with him unless he wanted us to drive him to rehab. A counselor in a homeless shelter told our son that he needed to go to Beacon House. He did, and he has now been clean and sober for over three years. He is enrolled in school and gets straight As. His conduct around family members is impeccable. He takes complete credit for his actions and is scrupulous in working the steps. I credit God and the outstanding staff at Beacon House for his turnaround. I am convinced that if our son had not entered Beacon House when he did, he would now be in prison or dead. He now has such a bright future. Every time we interact with Beacon House staff and residents, we are treated with respect and warm acceptance. I cannot say enough good about Beacon House! I always recommend it when counseling families in our church who struggle with addiction.

Hey my name is Adele. My experience at the house isn't being in it but apart it it. It gave me back my daddy which I never thought would be possible and it gave me new family and friends that I couldn't have imagined I'd ever have. I am a girl yes but the house has given more than thought possible. It gave me my happiness back and I thank not only god but the beacon house that. I love you beacon house

When my brother entered The Beacon House Program in 2003 I was excited that he was continuing his road to recovery; i had witnessed several relapses...but his attitude was different this time and i became hope-filled again!This Program seemed different and now seven years later i can say that The Beacon House is different!!! HOPE became a reality as i witnessed the transformation tha i gleaned every time i was invited to attend an event; everything from the free community wide Thanksgivings to experiencing the leadership of The Beacon House's community involvement through-out the South Bay, and, I am thankful for the opportunity to participate as a volunteer at the 2008 community Thanksgiving. I generally have felt the genuine spirit of well being and care that clients and staff have for each other and visitors as well.there are so many reasons for me to be thankful for The Beacon House but most importantly is that I am at least 99.999% sure that my brother will remain clean,sober,self-ssupporting,a contributing member of society and his immediate and extended community and above all he is an amazing father to his three children. It gives me joy to to write this review and i pray that The Beacon House continues and is able to expand so, that many others in need will be able to experience not only the program, but the success of the program in their life.

One reason the program has been so successful is that the men have many opportunities to share generously with the community. They clean up around town, serve meals to the homeless, help with set up and crowd control at community events, and volunteer their time in countless other ways. People in San Pedro appreciate the men of Beacon House.
