Since its founding in 1937, Union Mission has grown from a small soup kitchen to a multi-facility organization serving the homeless population of the greater Savannah area. Today, Union Mission provides emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, behavioral health services, support for people living with HIV/AIDS and employment and educational services.

Painting With a Twist in Savannah is raising money to support their programs with a special Christmas-inspired Painting With A Purpose from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. The studio is located at 512 E. Oglethorpe Ave, Savannah, GA 31401, in Crawford Square Plaza.

The cost is $35 per person. An entertaining art instructor will lead a creative evening of fun with a step-by-step painting of your choice of Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on extra long canvas, perfect for holiday home decorating.
