“Homelessness is not a choice, but a circumstance. Let’s choose compassion and empathy instead.” – Deborah Padgett, Professor of Social Work

As part of Project Jatropha’s ongoing humanitarian mission, I was happy to revisit Ms. Paula Manczuk-Hannay, the Human Services Development Officer. She plays a key role in our partnership to support the community and help those in need. With winter approaching, our humanitarian mission at Project Jatropha focused on providing a few essential winter items to the most vulnerable people in Fremont. We’re truly grateful for our partnership with Ms. Paula Manczuk-Hannay and the chance to help those in need.
