Spartanburg Regional Foundation Continues Support of Greer Community Ministries
August 8, 2014
SPARTANBURG, SC – The Spartanburg Regional Foundation continued their annual support of Greer Community Ministries (GCM) this year by providing a $10,010 grant for a new accessible entrance at the ministry’s location at 738 S. Line St. Ext.
The original French doors will be replaced and a smooth threshold will be installed, giving better access to the facility for senior adult and handicapped clients.
“There is currently a raised threshold and lever door handles at the entrance making entry difficult for clients using canes, walkers or wheelchairs,” said Cindy Simpler, executive director. “We are replacing these doors with a set of automatic doors that can be opened with the push of a button.”
The Spartanburg Regional Foundation completed a $30,000 gift ($10,000 over a three-year period) in 2013. Those funds were used to help purchase a 2011 Ford/Starcraft Xpress 15-passenger bus for the Senior Dining program.
“We appreciate the continued support of the Spartanburg Regional Foundation,” Simpler said.
The check was presented recently at a ceremony at Spartanburg Regional Hospital.
