Community Action Committee
The Community Action Committee (CAC) provides outreach to socially responsible institutions and programs that align with Beacon’s covenance and with a current valid 501c3 designation by supplying funds from Share the Plate and when appropriate to help designated agencies meet their goals.
Share the Plate
~ This Month’s Share the Plate Partner ~
Beacon’s community partner for October – December 2024 is
COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TEAMS (CATs) OF FLAGSTAFF
Beacon will Share the Plate with CATs for the months of October – December 2024. CATs operates an outreach and shower bus to promote hygiene, friendship, and assistance to the unsheltered. It provides showers, snacks, clothing, hygiene, items, and referrals to local agencies.
CATs also sponsors People @ Work which empowers and provides paid employment to clean up Flagstaff’s streets.
Future plans are to provide non-traditional housing and shelter opportunities such as safe sleeping sites, micro-housing, and wet housing for the alcohol dependent. A calendar on their Facebook page provides locations where the bus is parked during the week/month. More information about CATs can be found here.
Fifty percent of all undesignated contributions to the quarter’s Sunday service offerings will be presented to Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona. Nominations for 501c3 agencies can be made through a form located in the CAC folder in the office or by contacting a CAC member (Susan Patrick, Katy Grant, Lynda L. Dorweiler).
