Montgomerys Beacon Center Director has not deterred despite criminal activities

Montgomery, Ala. (WSFA) – The Beacon CenterPresent In several non -profit organizations there is a facility in Montgomery that focuses on the needs of others. Now it takes some help, themselves. Officials say that the HLK units of the building have recently been stolen and torn apart.

Beacons at Sea offers a reference point for those looking for safe water, exactly what the Beacon Center in Montgomery intends for in the river region.

“For ourselves, we do not try to tell our neighbors what they have to do. We try to deliver a reference point if they have the success to which they have appointed themselves,” said Richard Williams, the leading pastor of the metropolitan united methodist Church and the director of the Beacon Center.

Williams was so broken when on February 17th showed camera material on February 17, masked suspects, who climbed an industrial director and tore apart the HLK units of the center.

“You could even have received support from our food pantry and had shopping items that you could have cooked that day. And so we want to be a resource for our community for us, ”said Williams. “We want to continue to concentrate on our mission in which we exist to remove these barriers from our neighbors so that they can have a better life.”

Because of this indiscretion, the Beacon Center has become more difficult to serve its community.

“As a result, we have to interrupt our hours of critical services, our consulting services, our pantry, as we want to make sure that our teams are not only safe, but we want them to also work in a high -quality environment,” said Williams.

Pastor Williams does not let him down.

“I think it could be very easy to have a negative perspective about this experience, but a thing it does is that it reminds me of how much work has to be done in our capital,” he said. “It reminds me that the space of poverty continues to be something that rules the day, and it actually encourages us not to give up.”

According to Williams, new HLK units are on the move and are installed with a new “manipulation” kebab safety system.

The WSFA 12 messages have turned to the police to update an investigation, but has not yet received an answer. If you know something about this incident, you will be asked to call the police.
