Bank of America grant to assist in rebuilding lives and ending homelessness in San Gabriel Valley.
Pasadena, CA – Tuesday, July 10, 2018
Union Station Homeless Services announced today that it has been awarded a generous $15,000 economic mobility grant from Bank of America. Funds from the grant will support Union Station Homeless Services’ life-saving programs and services for people experiencing homelessness in San Gabriel Valley.
“Bank of America’s funding will help Union Station continue to rebuild lives and end homelessness in San Gabriel Valley,” said Union Station’s CEO, Anne Miskey. “We are incredibly grateful for their long-standing support which enables us to effect real change in our communities and in the lives of our clients.”
Alongside this partnership and support, Union Station is thankful to host a Bank of America Student Leader this summer, Jonathan Stephens. During his 8-week paid internship funded by Bank of America, Stephens will help our volunteer department improve and develop systems, policies, and communication to better engage our volunteers and community.
Celebrating 45 years of service, Union Station is the lead coordinator of homeless services in San Gabriel Valley, working with more than 60 service providers to support our most vulnerable community members, including chronically homeless individuals, veterans, and families. Union Station’s ability to impact lives would not be the same without the support of surrounding communities and corporations such as Bank of America.
“Union Station is a long-time partner in our efforts to help put people and families back on the path to economic stability. Many of us are just one life event away from needing basic services like food and emergency shelter, so the bank works with nonprofits that provide those critical needs so that barriers to economic stability can be removed,” said Raul Anaya, Los Angeles Market President for Bank of America.
Union Station works to promote and increase access to supportive housing and enhance its current services with nationally recognized best practices. Union Station’s commitment to rebuild lives and end homelessness represents much more than just a tagline – it represents a leap forward in the impact of Union Station’s services to families and individuals of the San Gabriel Valley
