Golf fundraiser aids Hope Mission shelter in historic district
The Mission of Hope holds a golf fundraiser on September 11 at Airport National Public Golf Complex to support its shelter program. The shelter, in a historic house, needed a new roof and stucco, facing issues like black mold, asbestos, and lead paint removed with help from a $30,000 federal grant and Cedar Rapids Homebuilders Association involvement. The 12 bed facility, including two women’s beds, is the area's only wet shelter, linking residents to job training and counseling while offering AA and support groups.
