Members of the Verizon TelecomPioneers Liberty Bell Chapter presented Laurel House with a $10,000 grant today. This generous contribution, made possible through the hard work of Chapter President Bernadette Allen (pictured third from left) and other members, will support Laurel House's technology needs, especially in regards to the infrastructure components."Each of our programs for people affected by domestic abuse depends on having safe and secure technology systems and will benefit directly from this generous grant in several ways," explained Melissa Firman, Director of Development and Public Relations (pictured fourth from left).
Funds will be used to obtain and install a new, dedicated server to enable counselors and advocates for people in Laurel House’s shelter to provide more efficient services. Program managers who spend considerable time with community groups will be able to provide better services through upgraded laptops and technology. Finally, residents in Laurel House’s transitional housing program will have increased access to refurbished computers to learn about career opportunities and community resources.
Many thanks to the Verizon TelecomPioneers for this generous grant!
