HUGS is gearing up for our Build-Out project on Wheaton Street. HUGS is finalizing agreement with the Savannah Baptist Center to acquire the "Old Family Dollar" space adjacent to the center. This is an extensive build-out and we look to launch our "Building Campaign" to raise funds for the project in the very near future. Once completed, this building will house the HUGS Day Programs, Outpatient Counseling, Vocational & Educational services to Savannah's at-risk and disadvantaged. While HUGS is actively providing services in the community, this facility will allow us to provide much needed on-site programs. We are excited for the opportunity to put our unique programs to work in the community, and this building will allow us to accomplish just that.
HUGS is now providing Counseling services to five partner organizations in the community. We are currently serving over 150 at-risk/ low-income individuals per month, and this number is rapidly growing.
Last week HUGS began accepting appropriate clients into the Counseling Program, and will begin accepting applications for the Day Programs as building nears completion.
If you have not yet committed to attend the Ballroom Extravaganza event on Sept. 17th, please contact Ellen Bradley (912)507-8576 to reserve your ticket. If you cannot attend, but would like to donate an item to the silent auction please contact Ellen this week (as the cut off is Sept. 10th for accepting donated items). This event is an amazing fundraising opportunity for HUGS and your support is greatly appreciated.
We are encouraged by the community's response to HUGS and its efforts to make Counseling and Employment a reality for ALL who are motivated towards positive change and productivity.
Thank you for your interest and support. Please keep spreading the word about HUGS and all that it is doing to provide support services to the Savannah community.
Thank You & God Bless!
Let's Keep Giving HUGS to SAVANNAH!!!!
