NEWS RELEASE - October 7, 2008

EXPANDED FACILITIES OPEN

Expanded restroom, shower and laundry facilities were officially opened today with a ribbon-cutting at Washington Street Mission. Springfield mayor Tim Davlin participated in the ribbon-cutting, expressing appreciation for the Mission's contributions to addressing the issues of homelessness in the city.

The expanded facilites will serve people who visit the Mission during its morning neighborhood coffee hours. Many of these people are homeless, stay in emergency shelters, or are marginally housed in less than ideal circumstances. The Mission serves coffee and doughnuts each weekday morning from 7:00 AM. to 11:00 A.M. without charge.
