Hope's Corner Kitchen & Laundry Construction to Start Soon!
On Tuesday July 24, representatives from Hope's Corner, LAUMC, Trinity UMC, the City of Mountain View, Santa Clara County, CHAC, HomeFirst, the Housing Trust Silicon Valley, and our newest partners, Google, gathered in the sanctuary at Trinity to celebrate the completion of funding and the imminent start of our long-planned kitchen remodel project.
The generous $1 million contribution from Google was the final key piece of a $2 million plan to offer a cold weather shelter, on-site meal preparation, showers, case management services and job training all under one roof at Trinity UMC.
We are extremely grateful to Google and to all of our donors and supporters for helping us reach this milestone. County Supervisor Joe Simitian and his team deserve special thanks for working tirelessly to secure commitments from all of our partners.
Phase 1 of the construction will begin shortly. Phase 1 will include a new kitchen and laundry room. You can see the basic plan here and a section here.
