A team of five Brown, Goldstein & Levy professionals volunteered at My Sister’s Place Women’s Center in Baltimore on Wednesday, May 10. The BGL team staffed the dinner meal service and helped prepare food, serve guests, and clean tables. The volunteers included attorneys Monica Basche, Chelsea Crawford, Lauren Kelleher, and Jamie Strawbridge, and Marketing Coordinator, Andi McIver.
My Sister’s Place is a day shelter and resource center for women and children experiencing homelessness and poverty in Baltimore that serves lunch and dinner daily for its patrons.
