« Back to Award Winners Pastor Tom Beauregard The Mission in Winter Haven, FL is the life work of one man—Tom Beauregard. He began this community support organization after he committed himself to leaving his life as a drug dealer. In his free time from working wherever he could, Tom began helping the homeless and those who had less than he. Over time, he has expanded this commitment to others and has built an organization that helps the homeless of Central Florida get back on their feet. In addition, each year he supports Christmas for over 8,000 families.
