Those who travel on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive might have noticed some changes recently, specifically at 60 MLK Drive. The tearing down of old buildings and clearing and cleaning of the site mean exciting news for the future Open Hearts Community Mission homeless shelter.If work for the shelter continues on schedule, it will open by midyear 2014. And that’s just what anyone involved with the mission would expect because, throughout the lifespan of the project, doors have opened, funds have grown, community and church members have volunteered and given graciously and prayers have been answered.
