Personal Care Bag Project & Working Innovations

Following is an email we received from Valerie Lindstrom. She wanted to share this information with the congregation.

“The Personal Care Bag Project has worked with Working Innovations for many years. Yvonne Brady, administrator, sent me a letter she sent to legislators when I asked about the state of her agency. Read and share.
