We are so pleased to report that the fundraising needed to complete the first phase of the facility is almost complete! We are less than 10,000 away from having all the funds to reach "certificate of occupancy." We will soon be directing our efforts toward the funds necessary to complete the flooring and each of the individual rooms in the center, which is estimated at around $50,000. We are deeply thankful to all of you who have participated in making this dream a reality. We look forward to breaking ground around the beginning of August!
city council votes "Yes!"
On May 8th, after almost three years of effort, over 100 people from the community of Maple Hill Estates came together with volunteers and Mobile Hope leadership to make a final appeal to the Corcoran City Council. After some debate, the council agreed to move forward and begin the project!
