News from CCJ

Thank You Gerry!

After more than four years as the first full-time Executive Director of the Coalition for Compassion and Justice (CCJ) Gerry Garvey is resigning to pursue other opportunities effective on April 27; the Board of Directors accepted her resignation with regret on April 19. During Gerry's years with CCJ, the need for CCJ's services increased substantially as the local area's economic recession deepened. Through her leadership CCJ expanded its services to meet additional needs for food, clothing and shelter. During her tenure CCJ opened a Thrift Store from which used clothing is freely available to those in need; Open Door increased its outreach to the hungry; Chef Bryan developed his plan to open a local restaurant (Chef Bryan's Bistro on Goodwin St.); CCJ expanded its collaboration with other non-profit organizations in the community; and CCJ began to serve as fiscal agent for a number of local non-governmental organizations. Gerry’s tireless efforts on behalf of Prescott’s less economically secure people will be missed.

CCJ's operations -- Open Door, Home Repair, Circles of Support and other outreach programs -- will continue without interruption while the Board recruits a new Executive Director.

You can make a difference
in someone's life today.
