The first recipient of our 100+ Women Who Care donation, in November 2011, was New Hope Family Shelter. Eighty-one women attended the first meeting. New Hope is the only emergency shelter in Monroe County that keeps homeless families together — a critical aspect of any strategy to address the problems that lead to homelessness. Sue Shindell successfully advocated for New Hope, and was on hand to deliver our donation of $8,100 to Rob Young, director of the shelter.
