BEK - BEACON

Connecting Communities, One Story at a Time

Share the Stories You Love from the New Digital Beacon

February 2025

BEK Communications has taken an exciting step into the future by making our monthly publication, Beacon, entirely digital. This change not only enhances convenience but also makes it incredibly easy for members and customers to share their favorite stories with friends, family, and colleagues.


Whether it's a heartwarming community feature, the latest updates from BEK, or insights into the innovative services we provide, sharing these stories has never been simpler. Here's how you can help spread the word:

Visit the Digital Beacon

Head over to https://www.bek.coop/beacon to access the Beacon’s latest issue. Browse through the articles, and find the ones that resonate most with you.

Click and Share

Once you’ve found a story you’d like to share, click on it to open the full article. Look to the left of the page, where you’ll find easy-to-use shortcuts for sharing directly to your favorite platforms.

Copy and Share the URL

Not active on social media? No problem! Each story includes a shareable URL that you can copy and paste. Send it in a text, email, or even include it in a newsletter to reach others.


The digital format of Beacon is designed to help stories travel further and connect more people. By sharing, you’re not only spreading valuable information, you're supporting the communities we serve. So, take a moment to explore and share the stories that inspire you. Together, we can amplify the voices and messages that make a difference.
