In a historic move for Belleview, thanks to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, Marion County Community Services has joined forces with local non-profit Hands of Mercy Everywhere to breathe new life into a cherished landmark. The former Belleview Community Center, steeped in history, is set to undergo a transformative renovation. Once complete, it will stand as a beacon of hope and opportunity for local teenage girls and mothers in need of support.
This ambitious project, fueled by CDBG funds, aims to provide a safe haven for these vulnerable members of our community. The renovated center will not only offer shelter but also comprehensive care, addressing psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and community spirit.
Hands of Mercy Everywhere’s tireless dedication to Marion County shines through in this endeavor. Their commitment to empowering young women through life skills training and pre-vocational development is truly commendable.
