Why this board matters to a donor
A ministry serving women in addiction, trauma, and crisis needs governance that understands the population, not just the mission statement. Mercy Manor's board pairs clinical recovery experience, victim-advocacy experience, and law-enforcement relationships in Hood County — the same county the home will serve.
