Congratulations to Michelle on recently being presented with a Core Value Award!

Every day she works with women in our shelter as they journey towards a successful and stable future. She has a true heart for helping people.

“I work beside her, and I see her heart for the women,” said a coworker. “God uses her in ways that provide comfort, healing and encouragement to those placed in her path.”
