Mt Zion Refuge Aids troubled travelers at three story home
In a July 1977 leisure feature, Mt Zion a refuge run by Pastor Buford Cates and Molly Cates aids financially strapped or shelter seeking individuals. Joanie a 20 year old resident shows progress from teen emotional levels to independence while the Cates family and helper Marian Meek welcome guests from the streets often with police referrals. The house expanded from a Michigan Street shell to a two to three level residence with a full kitchen, living area, and dedicated spaces, while lunch for seventy seven guests was served and a dedication service held.
