ANHUESER-BUSCH COMPANIES AWARDS GRANT
TO THE HAVEN OF GRACE
Funding Part of the Quadrangle project
ST. LOUIS (September 13, 2006)- The Haven of
Grace, which serves young pregnant women ages 16-24
providing a safe home, parenting skills, and education
so they graduate and become tax paying citizens, would
like to announce that Anhueser-Busch Companies has awarded
$10,000.00 to The Haven of Grace for their Quadrangle
Project.
The Quadrangle Project will build three new, four unit
apartment buildings immediately east of the existing
shelter, on the 2600 block of Hadley Street. Construction
is set to begin in March 2007. This new project will
allow The Haven of Grace to increase the number of women
the program helps each year.
Diane Berry, Executive Director at The Haven of Grace,
said " this award is another example of how Anhueser-Busch
demonstrates their commitment to improving the lives
of women in the local community."
The Haven of Grace, a ministry of faith, is a residential
and aftercare program providing a safe nurturing and
educational environment for homeless pregnant women
by focusing time and resources on mother and newborn
as they become a family and begin to establish their
life together in the community. Since, 1988 The Haven
of Grace has served over 500 women and their children.
Currently, The Haven provides services for 270 women
and their 454 children in their 10 year aftercare program.
