GLOUCESTER’S MAYOR PLEDGES MONEY TO EXTEND PROGRAM TO 5 DAYS
GLOUCESTER, MA
“The Grace Center has become a very important part of what our community needs. People who are in trouble now rely on this program for basic support and safe space during the day. For years I have worked with people with these disabilities, and I know many of them personally. As mayor I am committing $15,000 from the city’s 2015 Community Development Block Grant budget. This is a challenge grant to encourage the Grace Center to expand to five days of operations. Gloucester critically needs this, and I am confident that the many partner agencies, churches, and leaders involved will work with me to make this possible.” – MAYOR SEFATIA ROMEO THEKEN
