VP Jennie introduced our speakers, Maquitta Stokes and Amber from Tiqvah Hands of Hope, an organization that provides off-school space and programming for school-aged children where they can be safe, have a healthy meal, learn life skills and study skills, be exposed to some religious influences, make friends and have fun. Tiqvah is housed in Christ Presbyterian Church.
Happy Bucks:
