NEWS readies for full re-opening with upgrades to admin and shelter offices
We took advantage of staff and clients meeting remotely during the past year and remodeled the NEWS admin offices. Even the shelter offices got a facelift to be more welcoming to clients. Safety is a priority at NEWS, so the Admin office on Pear Tree Lane now has a new separate, safe, and comfortable waiting room for clients, and new offices for our intake coordinator and support services advocate. Thank you to the wonderful vision of Suzi Moret of Divine Properties for making it all look warm and welcoming!
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month
NEWS is committed to antiracism and anti-violence. In the past year, we have seen a wave of crimes against the AAPI community. The first step in fighting racism is learning. We encourage you to join us in seeking further education and taking meaningful action towards unlearning the racist and hateful systems that uphold white supremacy in America. Here is a good place to start: AAPI Victory Alliance. We can stop hate together!
At NEWS we just want to help moms be moms. So, for the month of May we will be honoring those mothers, or mother-figures, who are near and dear to us. We will be telling stories on social media of those very important people in our lives who impacted, empowered, inspired, and loved us. Watch for the hashtag #MonthofMoms on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts where you will read those simple stories of what our clients are striving for… just being a good mom.
