PTG Studios “
Today’s Family” to feature
Central Union Mission
--Christ-centered rescue mission in Washington, D.C. --
Deerfield Beach, FL –
PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of Central Union Mission in Washington, DC for its innovative, educational television series, Today’s Family. The organization will be featured in a segment on “Reaching your world for Christ -- until the whole world hears” as part of the “Touching Hearts and Changing Lives Series.”
Established in 1884, Central Union Mission is Washington, DC’s oldest social service ministry. The ministry began as an outreach to wayward men, many of them Civil War veterans, on the streets of Washington. Strong church support led the steady growth into the 21st century, enabling the mission to purchase and later build increasingly larger facilities.
The Mission’s services to homeless and addicted men through overnight shelter and long-term rehabilitation programs reflect only a portion of its overall work. Other services include English-as-a-Second-Language classes and basic necessities for immigrant families. There is also emergency grocery assistance to senior citizens and working single parents, clothing and furniture distribution, and a camp and outreach to children.
Central Union Mission has also just announced its plans to sell its current building at 14th and R Streets in Northwest Washington, the first step in a plan to relocate to a new, state-of-the-art facility on Georgia Avenue in the Petworth neighborhood. The move is seen as an opportunity to improve and increase services to low-income residents throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
“We see this as a wonderful opportunity to increase our services to the neediest families and individuals in our area,” said David Treadwell, Executive Director of Central Union Mission. “As a result of this move, we will be able to provide the community with the highest-quality services possible.”
The Mission provides a holistic approach to meeting the needs of families, children, men and women. The new community center will serve as the heart of this service to the community.
