Shout out to our wonderful Board of Directors!

They came together Monday night to prepare dinner for our guests—baked ziti, salad, breadsticks, dessert, tea & lemonade! Of course, we forgot to take pictures!

We love this message from our Board President, Mitzi Settle:

“I would love to see us do dinner with our families more often. I feel like getting to know the community we serve & work so hard for will make us stronger advocates for the unhoused in our community. I appreciate you all & love your caring hearts!”

We are so grateful for a Board that doesn’t just support The Ark—they show up, serve, & love our families!

Our current Board of Directors:

Mitzi Settle • Kim Carter • Amanda Brewer • Kellie Cross • Donald Marler • Kay Childress • Palmer Duncan • Portia Hayes • Gigi Kakouras • Angie Shore • Arlo Tysinger • Matt Eubanks

Thank you all!!
