HELP Portraits Offered Saturday at Beacon of Hope
On Saturday December 8th, Beacon of Hope Recovery Community Center will host HELP Portrait volunteers. The Help Portrait volunteers will be doing free, professional quality photo portraits. Participants will have their photo taken, printed and give
n to them before leaving Beacon of Hope.
This unique and wonderful opportunity is open to anyone who is struggling with a crisis or behavioral health issue or considers himself or herself in some form or recovery. Photo portrait stations will be set up for individuals, small groups and groups of up to 10 people.
“We are so appreciative to the volunteers coming out to take the photographs, and we are excited to see folks who may not have had their photos taken in some time have an opportunity to have a photo of themselves or someone they love—or maybe be photographed with someone they love,” says Kathleen O’Brien, Executive Director of Walden. “It is also really fun to be part of an event that is happening all around the world on the same day.”
Help Portrait is an international movement of grassroots volunteers, each doing photo portraits in their own communities.
Beacon of Hope Recovery Community Center is located in Millison Plaza in Lexington Park, two doors down from the Well Pet Clinic and beside Underground Tattoo, behind Family Dollar. Look for the lighthouse beacon logo in our window!
