Annual Luncheon and Awards
The 2007 Homeless Alliance Luncheon was held on Wednesday December 12th at Shanghai Red's Restaurant.
The Homeless Alliance was proud to welcome Maria Whyte, Buffalo Field Office Director for the Department of Housing and Urban Development as keynote speaker. One hundred and ten of our supporters and colleagues joined us as we celebrated a year of hard work together and recommitted to our mission: facilitating dialogue and strategic action to end homelessness.
Each year the Alliance honors community members who have done exceptional work on the behalf of homeless persons in Buffalo and Erie County. This year, the Monsignor Henry Gugino Organizational Service award went to Compass House. The Killian Vetter Individual Service award was given to two individuals this year: Glenda Washington of Alcohol and Drug Dependency Services and Karen Carman of YWCA of Western New York.
