Albi Homes and Making Changes Association: In partnership to create successful futures for women in transition
Making Changes Association will be moving to a new location in early 2011, and Albi Homes has graciously agreed to create a beautiful new space for us. Our new organizational home will be a warm and welcoming space for our Walk-In Closet and our Employment and Life Skill participants, offer easy access for volunteers and donors, and will house our administrative offices as well.
We are thrilled to have been chosen as a recipient of the Albi Homes/Renova community initiative and can't wait to get started.
