Campus build-out project ground breaking ceremony in Salinas, Nov. 1

SAN JOSÉ, Calif. (Oct. 18, 2004) - Unity Care Group, a non-profit youth-development agency with offices in San José, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, is having a ground-breaking campus-build out ceremony in Salinas on November 1, 2004.

With this campus build-out project we are hoping to improve our services to the children in our care. We are going to improve the nearly-impassable road leading to the campus, including grading for drainage, lighting the road, and the creation of a 40-car parking lot. Given the fragile nature of the population we serve, it is critical that our roads be usable and safe and doing this will help emergency vehicles to reach us in times of need. We will also build an all-purpose sports field, including a baseball field and a Ropes Course field. All in all we are hoping to provide better amenities for the educational and recreational development of the children.

Founded with the goal of developing educational and social programs to enrich the lives of at-risk youth, Unity Care Group’s mission is to provide quality youth programs for the purpose of creating healthier communities through life-long partnerships
