Homeless Prenatal Honors Brenda Wright
More than 300 people gathered May 19th at our Mission District home for the "Our House" benefit which raised a hefty $106,000. 
Although event co-chairs Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge could not make it because they were at home with their seven-month-old twins, many of our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and friends joined the festivities. The celebration also honored the work of Brenda Wright, senior vice president of community development at Wells Fargo Bank who was named HPP's 2007 Valued Community Partner.
 The celebration showcased our spacious three-floor building which houses a community technology center, art room, childcare center, yoga room, wellness center, a kitchen and garage for 17 cars. Our House Full Story |
