Our presenter last week was Tracy Mead, Chief Executive Officer for Project Self Sufficiency. Ms. Mead has held the position since 2015. Project Self Sufficiency serves single mothers and fathers with children to get resources they need when a situation arises that can wreck a single parent’s life with limited resources. This includes helping get a reliable vehicle, help with unexpected vehicle repairs, food pantry resources, or help with childcare assistance.

Misty Trefry told us about the programs support and gave us a little background about herself. She mentored with Kay Norton at UNC and she is forever grateful for the experince. Individuals that are in other programs in the community still can get assistance from Project Self Sufficiency. Misty spoke about the wrap-around support that came help someone be more efficient sooner.
