Pasadena Police Officers swapped their patrol cars for a decked-out mobile grill unit, providing party goers with golden hot dogs and good cheer. Over one hundred people gathered at the Union Station Homeless Services’ Family Center including government officials, board members, donors, and volunteers.
As music and gratitude brought out smiles, supporters were invited to visit the organization’s various sites including Euclid Villa Transitional Housing, Centennial Place and Passages Intake Center. By visiting these different locations, community members gained insight on the critical development that takes place within these transitional housing and service centers.
Homelessness is a complicated issue plaguing our society but Union Station has proven that it is not a hopeless one. For over 40 years the organization has worked tirelessly to help men, women, and children rebuild their lives and gain traction on a brighter future.
Union Station’s CEO, Rabbi Marvin M. Gross, explained that, “We are proud of the many accomplishments that our organization and our clients have achieved to date and are honored to continue this important work along with our tireless staff, volunteers, donors and large community of friends.”
