INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Known for generously helping non-profit organizations in Indian River County via grant money raised from the John’s Island community, the John’s Island Foundation continues to show its support to Camp Haven, a transitional shelter-program for area homeless and at-risk men.
In an effort to enhance the functionality and flow of Camp Haven’s facility, the Foundation has awarded the organization approximately $18,000 to upgrade its laundry room, that currently struggles to serve 16 men. Lack of storage space and equipment that seemed to be working only part of the time were proving to be a growing concern for the organization, and now it has the funds to rectify the problem.
“It’s difficult to put into words the gratitude I feel for the ongoing support John’s Island Foundation shows us,” said interim executive director, Lalita Janke. “With this grant, we will now be able to have a laundry room that can better serve the 16 plus residents that participate in our program.”
To ensure the success of Camp Haven’s program for the homeless and at-risk, it needs continuous support from the community. To find out more, please call (772) 999-3625 or visit www.CampHaven.net.
