How to Help

Give Today. Change Tomorrow.

When you support Beacon Center, you’re not just giving—you’re standing with someone in their moment of need.

Together, we can create a stronger, safer, and more compassionate community.

It is only through the dedication and support of our volunteers and donors that Beacon Center has stood the test of time. Thanks to the generous support of our benefactors, we are able to provide a variety of services, with our list of offerings always expanding, which means more opportunities for you to help!

Cell Phone Donation

The Cell Phone Drive is a collection drive through which people donate their used cell phones (with or without chargers) to the Beacon Center. We in turn distribute the working phones to clients as 911 phones.

Before donating a cell phone, please remember to erase any stored information, including contact lists, text messages, and listings of incoming and outgoing numbers and make sure the phone is no longer active and the service plan has been cancelled (or properly transferred).

Volunteer

It is through the immense generosity of the Watertown residents that we are able to offer our emergency services at all hours of the day. Every contribution goes toward helping victims receive the support they need to move on from their challenging situations.
