More About State of the Shelter Breakfast
Join us for the 20th annual State of the Shelter Breakfast, as we celebrate ACCESS's achievements over the past year.
Our Keynote Speaker, Donald H. Whitehead Jr., Executive Director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, will draw from both his professional leadership and lived experience to share his perspective on the drivers of homelessness and the solutions that create lasting change.
This event will also feature an inspiring story from this year's recipient of the Lynn M. Budnick Empowered Women Award, honoring a remarkable former resident who has triumphed over adversity. In addition, we will proudly present the Terrence J. Steel Community Excellence Award to a dedicated community partner whose impact has been instrumental to our mission.
Together, we will discuss the critical needs facing women and children experiencing homelessness in Summit County.
