About Beacon
Beacon Community Connections is a 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on building community by making connections.
Our mission is to empower anyone in need through connections, collaboration and advocacy for individual wellness and community quality of life.
Our work focuses on delivering exceptional social care services to under-resourced individuals and families. Beacon recently launched the Louisiana Ally initiative to combat opioid overdoses, and is building the Louisiana Community Care Hub to improve the connection between healthcare and community-based organizations.
We believe we are better together.
