      For the first time, Union Station Homeless Services will be the proud sponsors of a Rose Parade float.

      By Briony James

      On Thursday, Oct. 19. 2023, at the 50th anniversary celebration of Union Station Homeless Services, Chief Executive Officer Anne Miskey announced the wonderful surprise and said the float would feature bees, their hive, and their interconnectedness.

      The theme, “Bee the Change,” was promoted with bee-utiful deely boppers and applause at the gathering at Noor. We all look forward to this float, a wonderful gift to the community from a wonderful organization.
