Salinas, CA Dorothy's Place In Need Of Funding To Help Homeless Senior Women

View From A Nonprofit Serving Carmel, Carmel Valley, Gonzalez, Greenfield, King City, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Salinas, Seaside And Soledad California

Women Alive! Emergency Shelter is in the process of a badly needed fundraising period to try to improve the facilities at Dorothy's Place.  It's a great cause.  The shelter serves about 190 women per year on average, almost all of them senior citizens.   They come in at 7:00 p.m., get a hot meal, and then are allowed to spend the night, leaving at 6:00 in the morning.  Management at Dorothy's Place is hoping that with new funding, they will have more resources so that they can spend extra time with these seniors, counseling them on mental health services.  They would also like to improve the facility along with adding more staff.  I hope they are successful; this is a much needed resource on the Monterey Peninsula.  To find out how you can help, go to http://www.dorothysplace.org/.
