Join us in welcoming Sonia Romo, Women's Director | Doors of Hope at Beacon Light Mission as she opens up to the club about the needs of women.

In the South Bay, 25% of the homeless population have endured domestic abuse, and the majority of that population is women

Whether it’s due to escaping domestic abuse, struggling with addiction, or falling on hard times, homeless women are looking for a place to eat a warm meal, a fresh shower, and a place to lay their heads.

Doors of Hope, Beacon Light Mission’s women’s homeless shelter, not only provides immediate needs but we also offer life-transforming resources.  Women facing homelessness come through our doors to find the love of Jesus, an opportunity for spiritual growth, and a path to get off the streets permanently.
