Beacon Place is a non profit that was founded in

community center and core programs that focus on 

nutrition, overall health, academic support and life 

skills development.

The six core programs are: Summer Lunch Bunch 

for children 4-18; Beacon Backpacks, a summer food 

program for kids; Beacon Green, a program for 9-12 

year olds to build knowledge of gardening; Tweens 

and Teens for middle school children; and tutoring

programs.
