The 26 for Her campaign

One day. One woman. One life changed.

Healing takes time, and every day matters. A gift of $26 a month gives one woman a full day of safety, housing, and personalized support at The Beacon.

$26 changes everything

What $26 provides

One day at The Beacon means…

A warm bed in a safe and supportive home

Case management and trauma-informed care

Resources that build confidence, healing, and hope

Food, shelter, and other basic necessities

Rewrite her story

One day at a time, it adds up.

When you give $26, you are not just covering a day of care. You are helping a woman reclaim her story.

That one day might be the day she reconnects with her child. The day she celebrates sobriety. The day she finally believes: I can do this.

A day at The Beacon costs about $26. A day at Mitchellville, Iowa's prison for women, costs about $108 (Iowa Auditor of State, FY2023). Your investment creates something far more powerful than savings.
