Mary DeVore has been a Family Worker in our Head Start program since October 2022. Her caseloads have covered several different locations over the past couple of years, and currently includes our collaborations with the Elmcrest Northside Early Education Center, Atonement Day Care, and Lydia’s Lullaby. Mary has also covered additional caseloads while we have been short-staffed at our collaborations with Dr. Weeks Elementary and Cab Horse Commons Day Care. Working with families at so many different sites has given Mary the opportunity to share her knowledge and skills with new Family Workers, who have expressed their appreciation for her helpfulness and expertise.

This week, we are thrilled to announce a generous donation of $1,000 from True Storage, a self-storage development company dedicated to positively impacting our local community in Upstate New York. The PEACE, Inc. team had the opportunity to connect with True Storage and learn about their commitment to supporting local initiatives. This significant contribution will help us further our mission and deliver essential services to those in need.

We are incredibly grateful for their support and look forward to collaborating with them in future community projects. Together, we can make a meaningful difference!
