WILKES-BARRE — Earlier this month, the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund presented Keystone Mission with a $25,000 grant check to help fill the growing need of individuals seeking nutritious meals throughout the organization.
Among its regular church partnerships and food providers for weekend meal outreach, part of Keystone Mission’s outreach is serving nutritious meals – breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday – to welcome individuals further into the wrap-around services.
“This is our first grant to Keystone Mission and we are very happy to help them and support them in their work with the homeless,” said McGowan Foundation President Leo McGowan.
The funds will aid the mission’s newest location in Wilkes-Barre, as well as at their location in Scranton.
“With the opening of our new Wilkes-Barre location, and seeing a rise in individuals seeking services, this could not have come at a better time,” said Danielle O. Keith-Alexandre, Keystone Mission CEO & Executive Director.
“We provide healthy, nutritious meals daily, and this grant will go a long way, touch many lives and leave an indelible impact on our guests and residents. Many thanks to the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund,” she added.
