Beacon of Hope Fundraiser

Our Community, United for Youth

Thank you for supporting Second Story’s 2023 Beacon of Hope Breakfast Fundraiser

On October 25, 2023, our community came together in support of local youth and families in need. We heard powerful testimonials from individuals who know firsthand how support can make a difference in one’s life. Thank you to everyone who attended.

If you weren’t able to join us but want to ensure our programs are there for young people at critical turning points, please consider donating today. This is our only fundraising event of the year, and every little bit helps.

If you have questions, contact our Community Outreach Liaison.

Why support Second Story? Our local youth need us. Last year alone, there was a 33 percent increase in the number of people in families with children experiencing homelessness in Fairfax County. How can our youth even focus on succeeding in school and life without a safe place to sleep at night? Not a single young person should have to deal with that uncertainty. Together, we can spark change. Join us and register to attend. Visit our event page here.

Thank you to all of our dedicated mission-based sponsors who make serving our young people possible!
