Two Septembers ago, we held our Groundbreaking Ceremony for our new Social Services Center, and last October was our highly anticipated Grand Opening event. Today, we continue to serve our South St. Louis community as we always have, but with greater capacity, thanks to our 18,000-square foot facility.
If you still haven’t made a visit to our new Social Services Center, read below to see some exciting features!
Food pantry
Our client-choice food pantry now has a commercial-sized walk-in freezer and a loading dock that will smoothly facilitate shipments, drop-offs, and distributions. This larger space will allow Guardian Angel to easily serve clients.
Kitchen space
Our new state-of-the-art kitchen has an open concept to accommodate those who want to participate in our various workshops. There is plenty of space for cooking demonstrations, which allows people to interact with teachers and others during classes.
Workshop classrooms
Our classrooms are large and outfitted with updated technology, which can be used for a variety of needs from client presentations to community meetings.
Private office space
It’s important to us that our clients feel comfortable and secure. Our new private office spaces allow clients to maintain privacy while meeting with social service and/or food pantry coordinators.
Disability welcoming spaces
We believe everyone deserves a chance at their path to possible. That’s why all our spaces are ADA-compliant, creating a comfortable environment for all needs.
Angel Boutique Resale Shop
In this new location, our resale shop is located alongside the many social services it helps fund. Everything is located on one floor, including our overflow merchandise, and there’s a loading dock on this side of the building for donation drop-offs. There is more than enough room for customers to browse the ample inventory.
Parking lot
We are proud to offer our clients and staff a large parking lot with many available spaces, where visitors no longer have to search or pay for a parking spot. The building’s new location is now located along a bus route, which only makes our services more accessible to our community members.
Thank you to all who participated in our Path to Possible Campaign. Your generosity and dedication are what allow us to continue being a source of guidance and support in South St. Louis for those hoping to take the first step to possible.
