Honoring our dear friend and president, Jan Crawford

When HNS officially began in 2015, we put Jan Crawford in the lead as our president.  We knew her experience in leadership, community service and her heart were exactly what HNS needed to move forward.  She was respected and part of our start up team whose mission was to lift the lives of residents of Monroe County and network with local agencies, churches, schools and organizations to best use our resources.  She was part of HNS since we became a 501c3 in July 2015.

Today we honor her memory and legacy by continuing our mission and pledging to continue to grow and develop from the seeds she helped us plant.  Thank you Jan for your love, your smile and your servant's heart that helped us provide support and encouragement to the residents and families in Monroe County.  You will always be part of the HNS team and at the center of our heart.
