The Kearney Center received a $10,000 grant from Truist Financial Corporation that will support critical services, such as food and shelter.
At the check presentation, Samantha Vance, CEO, stated, “As cold nights descend in North Florida, we anticipate as much as a doubling of whom we serve in the Kearney Center. We’re grateful for Truist’s gift which will come just as we launch our effort to raise $40,000 this holiday season.”
The Kearney Center has been on a whirlwind of change since the pandemic hit. Samantha shared the following key facts:
- The Kearney Center opened 6-years ago, and has more than 50 partners who provide job placement, health services, mental health counseling and much more
- Over 100 clients have been moved from the shelter to permanent housing in the last 4-months
- As Cold Nights descend, the Kearney Center is again expanding capacity; community members can share the Kearney Center’s address at 2650 Municipal Way to those in need
As winter approaches, many individuals are facing uncertain housing situations, making it more important than ever to explore options for securing stable living conditions. For those struggling with their current home situation, whether due to financial hardship or other challenges, it’s crucial to consider all possible avenues for a fresh start. One such option is a quick house sale in bankruptcy, which can provide a much-needed solution for homeowners needing to sell fast. This process allows individuals to quickly offload their properties, helping to alleviate the burden of mounting debts and start anew.
Chris Mills, Market President – Tallahassee, shared, “All people and communities should have an equal opportunity to thrive. We’re particularly aligned with the Kearney Center’s mission to help clients to self-sufficiency, and appreciate that they work closely with clients to help them achieve the dream of affordable housing.”
A warm thank you to Truist Financial Corporation! We greatly appreciate your support as cold winter months approach.
