The Beacon House Association of San Pedro is a long-term substance abuse recovery center You can learn more at www.thebeaconhouse.org.

The Beacon House Association of San Pedro is a state-certified, residential substance abuse recovery program for men with a sincere desire to achieve long-lasting abstinence from drugs and alcohol. As residents of the Beacon House, the men are provided with food, shelter, counseling, peer group support, educational opportunities and career training through social enterprise programs, including a T

hrift Shop. This allows the men to develop the life, career and social skills they need to build a foundation in recovery, while preparing them for a strong reintegration into the job market and a bright future when they return to their family, home and community. Recently named one of the best addiction treatment centers in the United States by Newsweek Magazine, men from 39 states across the country have received treatment at Beacon House. The organization has grown over the past 50 years to encompass a full city block in San Pedro, California, adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles, including six residential facilities with the capacity to house 110 residents, as well as a kitchen/dining facility. With the support of our donors and the local community, we have helped thousands of men get a second chance at life and regain their place as responsible, productive members of society.

We are proud to announce that Bob Valentine (pictured on right) will be honored as our 2025 Angel Honoree at the Heart of Recovery Gala.

Bob passed away in April, but his impact continues to echo throughout the South Bay, and especially here at Beacon House.

For over 30 years, Bob served on our Board of Directors, helping to shape more than half of Beacon House’s 50 year history. His commitment to our mission was deeply personal, since he knew the power of recovery through his own lived experience, and he dedicated his life to making that gift available to others.

Bob was a fixture at every graduation ceremony, offering mentorship, encouragement, and care to the men in our program. He once said, “I thought I could contribute. I just wanted to give back.” Humility and a spirit of giving were the touchstones of his life.

We invite you to help us celebrate Bob’s legacy at this year's Heart of Recovery Gala. 💙

Jesse once wondered why faith seemed effortless for others but so far out of reach for himself. He could explain complex Biblical concepts, but despite all that knowledge, God still felt far away.

At Beacon House, he discovered that faith grows through action. The practices of prayer and meditation along with a daily effort to align his will with God’s, proved to be a powerful combination that finally allowed him to make the connection he’d always wanted.

Today, he’s grateful for his journey to a faith that truly works.

Sobriety opens the door to new adventures, like the recent sober living camping trip to Shaver Lake. Our men spent their days out on the water, piloting a pontoon boat, exploring, and beating the heat by jumping off rocks into the lake.

They also took a day trip to Yosemite National Park, where they hiked up to the top of a waterfall. Some men expressed a stronger feeling of connection to their Higher Power, while appreciating the incredible scale of nature’s beauty.

Addiction strips us of our desire for connection with people, but recovery restores it. And as some of these men begin preparing to move forward in their journey beyond Beacon House, they will cherish the memories they formed with their brothers on this trip.

There’s nothing quite like the rush of UFC Fight Night at Beacon House! An evening packed with snacks, laughter, and good old-fashioned adrenaline. Our guys love it.

What makes this event so special is that it is designed for the new men in our program. As they walk down to the Bartlett Center, they are met with a roar of cheers from the Sober Living residents. For men who have been down on themselves for so long, this simple act of support means the world. The smiles say it all.

Recovery gives us more than freedom from addiction, it gives us a sense of belonging. And at Beacon House, we believe that is a victory worth celebrating.

When Daniel came to Beacon House, his life was in ruins. Relationships gone, finances drained, health failing. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop drinking.

At Beacon House, he faced the hard truth: his thinking had to change if he wanted to survive. He discovered the value of speaking honestly about what was really going on inside, allowing others to guide him toward a better way of living.

Since then, Daniel’s life has really taken off. He now manages our thrift stores, purchased his first home with his wife, and is expecting a bundle of joy this fall.

Every day, he gives credit to God for his blessings and works hard to continue growing.

We were honored to welcome Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson to Beacon House for a tour of our newly renovated Bartlett Center, a facility that feeds the men in our program and serves meals to homeless shelters throughout the South Bay.

Assemblymember Gipson has a deep love for his district and a passion for supporting organizations that are making real change in people’s lives. After hearing our story, he championed our cause at the state level, securing generous funding from the State of California to help make this renovation possible, allowing us to provide a higher quality of care for our residents.

His recent visit gave him a first look at the impact of that support before our official grand opening next month. This investment didn’t just improve a building, it has enabled us to better serve our community and scale our life-saving services.

Our men have recently been out in the South Bay connecting with neighbors and business owners, sharing the mission of Beacon House and getting the word out about the upcoming Heart of Recovery Gala.

Addiction isolates. Recovery gives our men a chance to get out of their comfort zones and work on their communication skills. Their conversations are raising awareness about the work we do, the men's lives that are being rebuilt, and the importance of community support in recovery.

Alcohol became Gabriel’s answer to feeling uncomfortable in his own skin. But instead of helping, it pushed him further into isolation. By age 24, he wound up in the hospital with liver failure. He felt like he had no purpose in life and was haunted by regret. Opening up to others felt impossible.

When Gabriel came to Beacon House, he kept his guard up, convinced that letting people in would only prove he didn’t belong. In time, surrounded by men who understood him, he realized that he no longer had to pretend.

Through doing the work, Gabriel has experienced a profound transformation. He wakes up with purpose and peace in his heart today. He’s been able to make amends to his family and is now preparing to enter school to pursue a career in the dental industry.

Gabriel has learned that vulnerability and honesty are not weaknesses. Rather, they are the very tools that will carry him through life.

A group of our men are currently hard at work creating art that will be featured in the 2025 Heart of Recovery Gala silent auction. Each piece is a reflection of the artist’s journey, told through color and shape.

Art has long been known for its healing power, as it reduces stress, builds self-esteem, and offers a safe space to explore ideas and emotions. For our men, it’s not just about making something beautiful, it’s about using their creativity to support a mission that is near and dear to each of them.

Stay tuned! We’ll share one final sneak peek of their progress next month and give you more information about our silent auction.

We are so grateful for the growing relationship we share with DoorDash, and can’t thank them enough for their generosity in supporting the health and wellbeing of the men here at Beacon House.

An important part of recovery is learning to take better care of yourself, which all starts with a decision to eat healthier. Through their innovative program, DoorDash is making it easier for our men to access healthy and delicious snacks. This thoughtful initiative allows organizations like ours to deepen the impact we have on the communities we serve.

We feel truly blessed. When communities support each other, there’s no limit to the good that can be achieved.

For over 13 years, Mike had no contact with his daughter. Addiction is a disease of selfishness, and when you’re constantly thinking about yourself, it doesn’t leave much time for your children. In sobriety, we learn that taking ownership for our past behavior is how we begin to make things right again.

For the past year and a half at Beacon House, Mike has been attending our Dads Group, to gain insight and a deeper understanding of his role as a dad in recovery. When the time was right, he searched online to find his daughter’s contact information and set up his amends. He went into it with humility, knowing that he wasn’t owed anything. She had every right to be mad at him or refuse to hear him out.

But she responded with love. She said she felt God wanted her to forgive him and that she was proud of him for taking action to be back in her life.

Mike understands that the work of rebuilding this relationship has just begun, but he has a new outlook on it. “I feel like God has shown me a lot of grace. I have hope that I can actually be a good father now.”

A group of our men recently found a powerful connection between nature and their spiritual journey during a hike in the Angeles National Forest. Without the distractions and noise of the city, these men could focus on the beauty and wonder of the world around them.

As they hiked, they took in the views, shared laughter, and even received a word of encouragement from a fellow hiker who recognized their Strides in Recovery shirts. And while the waterfall was a definite highlight, the experience leading up to it is what will stick with them for years to come.
