The Hope Chest
Our founder, Yolanda Baldwin, is well qualified for her position and has proven herself as a compassionate individual who is dedicated to helping others. As someone who did not have everything they needed growing up, such as meals or supplies for school, Yolanda is devoted to making sure others do not experience similar circumstances. She is a firm advocate in asking for help when it is needed, as it was a principle her parents constantly enforced. She thus believes in taking help when it is offered and being mindful of what or how those acts of kindness help someone when they need it the most.
Upon graduating high school, Yolanda enlisted in the United States Army. The GI Bill she earned enabled her to go to college. Yolanda received a bachelor of science in nursing and her Master's degree in Health administration.
