MADISON — “The homeless day resource center will be known as . . . The Beacon.”
The words of Catholic Charities of Madison President and CEO Jackson Fonder marked the next step in the project to open said resource center near downtown Madison.
The name was announced at a May 2 press conference at the United Way of Dane County in Madison.
The announcement came after more than 400 people submitted naming ideas online and more than 400 people voted on the name finalists, which were: The Beacon, The Net, The Opportunity Place, and The Turning Point Center.
At the press conference, Fonder said “The Beacon” was submitted first by former Catholic Charities board member Diane Ballweg. Other people also submitted the name as an idea later in the process.
Joining Fonder at the press conference was Renee Moe, CEO of United Way of Madison.
