March 2010
We recently received a $2,000 grant from the Lovett
Foundation and $5,000 from The Presbyterian
Endowment Trust of the First Presyterian Church Gastonia
The renovation of the donated building at 809 W.
Airline Ave. is in progress. The new facility will include
showers, washers/dryers, storage, a full-kitchen and
the installation of a sprinkler system.  The renovation
is expected to be completed by May 1, 2010 .

As One Ministries would like to thank Mr Joseph
Grooms, Jr. for the donation of the property in April.  
The space is being converted into the drop-in portion
of the day shelter and will include the following:

  • Showers for men and women
  • Washers and dryers
  • Computer lab
  • Full kitchen
  • Client storage
  • Telephones
  • Emergency overflow overnight shelter during the  
winter

The upstairs will be used for administrative offices,
trainings, and workshops for the clients.
