On April 24, the Durham Rescue Mission held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the new Clegg Family Student Housing project. LeChase has been selected as construction manager for the $1.5 million (all donated), 10,000+ SF project. The event was attended by local and state officials, Ernie and Gail Mills (founders) the Rescue Mission Advisory Board, current residents at the shelter, friends of the mission and LeChase employees.
The Durham Rescue Mission is a homeless shelter and addiction recovery program, supporting the Raleigh/Durham area. LeChase has partnered with the Mission for the last few years at its annual community outreach events – such as Back to School, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. LeChase is honored to continue building our partnership with the Durham Rescue Mission as it gives back so much to the area.
