PONTIAC (AP) -- One of the largest and oldest homeless shelters in southeast Michigan is celebrating the opening of a new kitchen to help better serve the community.
Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Tuesday for the new kitchen. The homeless shelter renovated the kitchen with a $50,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation.
Grace Centers of Hope chief executive Kent Clark says the new kitchen will allow the shelter to prepare more than 150,000 meals each year. The shelter currently feeds between 150 and 200 homeless men, women and children each day.
The kitchen, which hasn't been remodeled in more than 20 years, has received new appliances including a convection oven and gas range with burners.
