Struggling to Make Ends Meet?
Seeking help can feel overwhelming. BEAM is here to make the process easier and connect you with the right resources.
Everyone needs help sometimes. Whether you’re between jobs, dealing with unexpected bills, or there’s simply more month than money lately, you’re not alone. BEAM provides support for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship in the Beaches Community through food assistance, emergency financial assistance, and public benefits support. Relief is within reach.

You may be eligible if you live or work in one of the following zip codes: 32082, 32224, 32227, 32228, 32233, 32250, 32266. All active-duty military members are eligible to receive food assistance, regardless of their zip code.
How We Help
Food Assistance
When money’s tight, food assistance can relieve stress and stretch your household budget. BEAM’s client-choice pantries allow you to select nutritious food and essential items that best fit your family’s needs.
Financial Assistance
Unexpected expenses, reduced hours, illness, and other financial setbacks can make it difficult to keep up with rent or utility bills. BEAM provides limited financial assistance to help eligible households remain safely housed and avoid service disruptions.
Public Benefits Support
Understanding public benefits can feel daunting. BEAM’s trained team provides free 1-on-1 assistance with benefits such as SNAP (food assistance) and Medicaid (health coverage). We help individuals and families navigate the process, submit required information, and access resources that support long-term health and stability.
