Celebrate 75 years of transforming lives at Father Joe’s Villages’ annual Gala: Beacon of Hope. This inspiring evening will honor our legacy and rally support for critical programs that uplift children experiencing homelessness—because every child deserves the chance to laugh, dream, and thrive.

In 2024 alone, Father Joe’s Villages proudly served 11,516 neighbors in need, including 518 families and 981 children. Your presence helps illuminate a path forward, breaking the cycle of homelessness and creating lasting change.

The evening begins with a lively reception featuring handcrafted cocktails, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and an exciting silent auction. Guests will then enjoy a seated dinner, an engaging live auction, and powerful stories of transformation. We’ll end the night with live music, dancing, and a decadent dessert and coffee bar.

Let’s come together to be a beacon of hope for the children and families who need us most.

Thank you to our Honorary Committee and Supporters: Your compassion and commitment are a beacon of hope to those we serve.
