Mission Update: Student Philanthropy Award Goes to Wayside Christian Mission

Student Philanthropy Award

Goes to Wayside Christian Mission

         Recently, Wayside Christian Mission was honored by the University of Louisville as the recipient of the Student Philanthropy Award bestowed by the university's political science students and Dr. Sherri Wallace.  The award came about after Wayside Christian Mission was chosen as one of the sites of a student capstone project.  The Mission responded by saying, "We are particularly pleased by the students' capstone project as this was obviously more than a mere academic exercise.  The students came to the Mission, interviewed a number of our resident clients, and then, based upon their acute observations, created a tool that will assist our clients in transitioning back into the community. These students left no stone unturned.  Their research into low-cost/subsidized housing will provide our resident clients and the case managers who assist them with meticulously detailed data that is absolutely vital in making proper housing decisions."  Once again, we say thank-you to the University of Louisville for caring about the community's homeless population.
