Real Help & Hope for Homeless Women & Children at Union Rescue Mission
The Union Rescue Mission will celebrate its
one-year anniversary of moving women and children to their transitional
housing facility, Hope Gardens. On June 27, 2007 four families joined the
senior women as residents of Hope Gardens Family Center. Since that time
44 families and 89 children have been served.
Currently 31 mothers and 59 children, as well as 22 senior adults, reside
at Hope Gardens Family Center. In just under a year 16 families have
successfully transitioned from Hope Gardens into permanent housing, a 55%
success rate.
On Monday, July 21, 2008 the Union Rescue Mission will celebrate its first
year Anniversary of Hope Garden's Family Center.
Union Rescue Mission's CEO, Andy Bales, said, "What we dreamed of and hoped
for our moms, children and Senior Ladies has happened; today they are
living a life of hope, surrounded by lush gardens, Coast Redwoods, huge Oak
Trees, a multitude of services and caring staff, preparing them on the
journey to find their way home. Thanks to all who made this 1st year
milestone possible!"
Our organization's work is supported in part by a recent grant from the
California Community Foundation, Ahmanson Foundation, Weingart Foundation,
Lincy Foundation, the Keck Foundation and several gracious donors like you
and me.
