Our Home ~ The John D. Parks Building

The facility housing our vans is at 2040 Broadmoor Ave, Chesapeake, VA. It was established in 1997, with a grant received from the District 24D (now 24-i) Charity Foundation to purchase land at a cost of $16,500. In 1999 a line of credit was established to put up the building for $141,950. That debt was paid off in 2005, and the LMSHU now holds all its assets completely debt free. In 2008, we entered into an agreement with the Eyeglass Recycling Center to reconfigure the building so they could have a permanent "home-base". After a year's work remodeling the building and working out the collaborative kinks, the Southside Eyeglass Recycling Center opened for business in October of 2009, and took up residence alongside the S&H Van.
