In December, our local Westgate Resort Myrtle Beach Oceanfront, completed an extensive renovation project at the Family Shelter - repainting hallways and interior spaces, renovating a bathroom, replacing a dishwasher, adding a collapsible counter for folding clothes, chalkboard walls, and most special of all - installing a new mural facing the playroom. This project was part of a company wide competition - Westgate’s Annual Acts of Kindness Initiative, where the best project completed by a resort in their local community, wins the benefitting organization a $10,000 grant. For the second year in a row, our friends at Westgate Resort Myrtle Beach Oceanfront won the competition for their project at New Directions, providing additional support for our organization through a $10,000 grant from the Westgate Foundation!
