St. Mary's Episcopal Church
St. Mary's Episcopal Church is a true community partner for Doorways. St. Mary's provides volunteers, and in 2003 became the new home for our monthly Dinner with Friends program. Jane Shafran, a St. Mary's staff member, welcomed the Doorways program "into the St. Mary's family," providing rare and meaningful hospitality to for our clients. But St. Mary's support doesn't end there - they made sure we had turkeys and dinners for our clients at Thanksgiving; provided new carpet, window repairs and new window treatment for the Safehouse; mowed the shelter lawns and trimmed the bushes; and regularly responded to our immediate needs for diapers or food. Rather than just being a group we see a few times a year, the St. Mary's community is an essential part of ending homelessness and domestic violence all year long.
The National Automobile Dealer's Association
The National Automobile Dealer's Association (NADA) is one of Doorways' Pro Bono Heroes. For many years, NADA has sponsored the monthly Dinner With Friends gathering, and held building-wide collections to fulfill Doorways' needs list of laundry detergent, school supplies, diapers, canned food, sheet sets and alarm clocks. Their efforts have resulted in countless dollars of donations and much needed support for our families!
