Shannon Leary, one of HOPE’s dedicated volunteers recently gained employment which unfortunately for HOPE meant she had to resign from her volunteer Homeless Management Information System, HMIS, data entry position that she has done for the past 3 years. Her work assisted HOPE with collecting important statistics needed to receive grants to help sustain HOPE’s operations. Shannon is a kind and reliable volunteer and will be greatly missed. Congratulations and thank you, Shannon!
