Union Mission's 10th annual ‘Raising Hope' gala raises awareness for homeless services
HUTCHINSON ISLAND, Ga. (WSAV) — A local nonprofit that has been changing lives across Savannah has a big night ahead on Tuesday. Union Mission is hosting its 10th annual Raising Hope gala as it works to end homelessness. WSAV spoke with Union Mission on their plans to end homelessness in the region and how they intend to celebrate a decade of hosting the Raising Hope gala. More than 800 guests will gather at the convention center on Hutchinson Island Tuesday night to celebrate a decade of transformation and support. The sold-out event is not just a gala – it's a celebration of lives changed and a powerful look ahead. Union Mission's Raising Hope event has become one of the most impactful fundraisers in the Savannah area. This year is its biggest yet. In 2024 alone, Union Mission helped transition more than 770 individuals from homelessness to stable housing, providing over 185,000 nights of shelter and 260,000 meals. Tonight's gala is focused on funding even more success through the organization's emergency housing and supportive services. This year's goal? To raise at least $150,000 – money that directly fuels Union Mission's frontline work. 'It's not just talking about it is doing it. This event enables us to be able to do what we need to do over the next year,' said Michael Traynor, the President & CEO of Union Mission. 'We're just excited to be able to tell our story and get the support that we need to continue to do the programs that we have and be able to move forward.' Looking ahead… Union Mission is transforming a former Family Dollar on West Oglethorpe into a new homeless resource center. This new place will be offering daily services, mental health support, and workforce development – all under one roof. Union Mission served over 1,300 individuals last year. What they share with WSAV today is not just about celebrating what they've done – it's about building what comes next. To get involved, volunteer, or donate to Union Mission, click here.

New fully accessible playground opens in Scranton
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A new place to play is now in Scranton. The city celebrated the grand opening of the Butterfly Playground, a fully accessible space inside Nay Aug Park designed for children and adults of all abilities. What used to be a parking lot is now a place where everyone can play. 'Oh, I've already seen the kids in here playing, and it makes you really happy. You put a smile on your face to see them enjoying it,' said volunteer Doris Koloski. The Butterfly Playground in Nay Aug Park is Scranton's newest inclusive play space, featuring accessible ramps and a merry-go-round built into the surface, so kids of all abilities can ride. 'This project has equipment that's totally handicap accessible, which we don't see enough of in our region,' said Thom Welby, vice chair of the Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority. 'I think the idea was that they could all intermingle and I'll enjoy the stuff together and not have them separated out, and just so the kids could socialize,' said Koloski. The nearly $400,000 project was funded through a state casino grant, administered by the city, with support from lawmakers and local volunteers. PHOTOS: Wilkes-Barre mural causes controversy 'The volunteers up here, they've been having donut sales, just basket raffles, bingos, anything to raise money,' explained Welby. That extra money added activity panels throughout the playground. This is just phase one. City leaders say future phases will include additional age-specific areas, all part of an all-inclusive discovery corridor. 'We added paved ADA parking spaces to the adjacent parking lot here and then added an ADA accessible route to the playground, and the pour and play system is actually a granular rubber that's bound,' said Mike Lachman, landscape architect at Barry Issett & Associates. Making it wheelchair accessible and cleaner. 'Playground projects are always the fun ones because you get to see the kids enjoy it after the fact, it's not so much the ribbon-cutting after all that's done. It's coming back out and seeing the kids run around and play on the playground,' explained Lachman. The Butterfly Playground is now open to the public at Nay Aug Park. With this ribbon cutting, Scranton sends a clear message: Play is for everyone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
