In May, I was asked to participate in a dinner benefiting Genesis. I do charity events all the time but this time I really wanted to know what I was donating to. I asked to have a private tour of the shelter and Chefs Carolanne Treadwell, Janice Provost and Dina Butterfield came with. We were so pleasantly surprised to see that this place felt nothing like a shelter but more of a home. A safe environment with apartments, schools, full cafeteria with 3 healthy meals being served daily. They had therapy rooms and even a garden. But we weren’t all smiles for long.
