Ancora House - Dry House shelter for Women
 
Christine Kecser, Executive Director of the Cambridge Shelter Corporation made an inspiring presentation today about Ancora House; a shelter for women providing refuge and support while they overcome substance abuse & addiction. 
 
Ancora House provides 24/7 on-site care and support programming for women as they work on overcoming their substance addiction. This includes working with multiple community resources, as well as enhancing life skills and coping methods. Counselling and social work are integral components, as well as reuniting families.
The participants have recently undertaken a homemade jam production, learning new skills as well as raising money for the program.
