Family Advocates of Platteville has moved into their new shelter and are ready to welcome guests. In March of 2022 Family Advocates received a $3.5 million American Rescue Plan Act grant to build a new facility. The new facility boasts over 13,000 square feet of useable space and is fully accessible. Family Advocates Executive Director Darlene Masters says,
Family Advocates will be hosting a grand opening of their new facility tomorrow [Thurs. April 18]. There will be a short ceremony with a ribbon cutting at 4 PM followed by facility tours and light refreshments until 7 PM. If you wish to support Family Advocates and are unable to attend the grand opening Masters says there are plenty of items a shelter always needs, but consumable products such as toilet paper are easy items to donate.
