Parker’s Kitchen and Union Mission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for the homeless community and offering emergency, transitional and permanent housing to those in need, will host a joint media announcement on Wednesday, July 23, unveiling a gift to fund construction for Union Mission’s new 8,200-square-foot Resource Center in Savannah, Georgia.
“The new Resource Center will serve as the next step to bolster Union Mission’s successful Day Center at Grace House with services including case management, mental health counseling, workforce development, engagement and other wrap-around services that help individuals experiencing homelessness address barriers to employment and housing,” Parker’s Kitchen said in a press release sent to NACS.
The event will also include preview tours of Union Mission’s new Resource Center as well as offer new information about the project’s construction timeline, including expected start and completion dates.
