GARDEN GROVE, CA, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Thomas House Family Shelter proudly hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the renovation of two-family units, marking an exciting milestone in our ongoing mission to empower families to remain together and achieve independence.

The event brought together community leaders and supporters, including Cindy Tran, Mayor Pro Tem Garden Grove, who presented a certificate of recognition, Patrick Powers, Edie Denning, Andrea Perez and Garden Grove City Manager, Lisa Kim, all of whom shared their support for this impactful project.

These renovated units, number 5 and 6 out of the 8 units committed to by our partners, reflect the hard work and dedication of the National Association of Women in Construction, Mammoth Electric, Professional Diversified Flooring, Walter’s Wholesale Electric Company, Cantoni Plumbing Inc., WL Butler, and Elljay Acoustics. Their continued efforts have been instrumental in providing safe, comfortable housing for families in need.

Reflecting on the importance of this work, Patrick Powers shared, “We support Thomas House because they do more than provide a band-aid to the people they serve; they diagnose the problem and then give them the help they need to cure the problems that created the family’s homelessness.”

The project was made possible thanks to generous grantors, including the Del E. Webb Foundation, Garden Grove Strawberry Festival, Decorative Art Society, and Warren P. Powers Charitable Foundation. Speaking on behalf of the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival, Andrea Perez said, “Since 1958, the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival Association Board of Directors has been dedicated to supporting community organizations that offer beneficial support services to our community. We are pleased to support the Thomas House Family Shelter and the families it assists.”

“As we open the doors to these two beautifully renovated units, we’re not just providing shelter—we’re offering a chance for families to thrive,” says Shakoya Green Long, Chief Executive Officer of Thomas House Family Shelter. “This is the kind of progress that changes lives and strengthens our community. "

As Thomas House Family Shelter continues its mission, we remain dedicated to fostering new beginnings and building pathways to independence for families facing homelessness.
