The 26 for Her campaign
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
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
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.
