Open Door Mission recently celebrated New Life with eleven graduates on June 6th. The ceremony was held at Open Door Mission’s Garland Thompson Men’s Center located at 2705 N 20th St. E.  Homeless men and women graduated from Open Door Mission’s life-changing programs and received Certificates of Completion during a cap and gown ceremony. Each graduate also shared their story with honored guests, family and friends.

“Completion of the Open Door Mission’s Life Changing Programs is a tremendous accomplishment for these graduates,” says Candace Gregory. “We honor their hard work and dedication, and pledge to support them as they step into the next exciting chapter of their lives. Rebuilding Lives is what Open Door Mission is all about!”

Cake and punch were served immediately following the ceremony.
