Write a commentThe Oswego Elks Lodge #271 Gratitude Grant for 2020, has been awarded to Victory Transformations, Inc.
This organization serves as an outreach within our community to reach those who are homeless and in need of love, hope and encouragement. Victory Transformation runs a code blue warming shelter that opens its doors and takes in the homeless when Oswego temperatures dip to 32 degrees. They advocates for their clients with emergency services in housing, food, heat, medical and anything that compromises their basic/safety needs. They provide an Emergency Housing Initiative that provides short term, immediate housing to individuals who are homeless with the goal of safe and affordable permanent or transitional housing within 35 days. Additionally, Victory Transformation provides an Employment Program, a Give-A-Way Closet, their Victory Roadhouse Cafe & Coffee house as well as the Drop-in Center. Victory Transformation is a Christian based program that help those of all faiths who are not currently using or dependent on drugs/alcohol.
The Oswego Elks Lodge chose Victory Transformation to be this year’s recipient due to the crisis our country is facing. The number of families in our own community needing help is increasing drastically, each day! Victory Transformation is now moving into a larger facility (formerly Valehaven) which will increase the number of people they can serve.
