Park Place Outreach, Inc., Youth Emergency Shelter now has a mortgage-free new home, thanks to the generosity of dozens of businesses and individuals in and around the Savannah area. To show their gratitude, the Park Place Board of Directors and Staff will hold a celebration on Tuesday, May 20th from 4-6 pm. The event will be at the new Park Place home located at 514 East Henry Street in Savannah.
"I can’t even begin to explain how important this new home is to what we do each day," says Linda Lamas, Park Place Executive Director.
"Our old home was well over 100 years old, too small and not in the best of shape. Now, thanks to the local community, Park Place can continue providing its services in a fully functional, efficient home."
The event will be at the new Park Place home located at 514 East Henry Street in Savannah.
