 Faye Cowee |
A longstanding collaboration between a respected area foundation and MLM has recently taken a step forward.
The Glasnapp Family Foundation has set up an emergency assistance fund in Faye Cowee’s name to help families in crisis. With emergency assistance increasingly in short supply despite growing needs, interested persons are urged to call Jim Glynn at (816) 931-0227.
The Glasnapp Family Foundation and Administrator Sherri Wright Glasnapp have long been outstanding supporters of MLM services. For years, former MLM Project CARE Coordinator Faye Cowee worked with Glasnapp to help some of the most challenging MLM cases. The fund was created to help establish an emergency fund in the name of Cowee, who has retired from MLM.
This selection is especially important now because MLM has experienced a significant reduction of government funding. This reduction is for 2011 and cuts funds to help clients with rent and utility assistance.
Faye served with MLM for nearly 12 years, including 11 in key positions such as Community Care Coordinator. After retiring in 2009, she returned to help with MLM’s front office. Previously, she served with the Mid-America Assistance Coalition and had worked with the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program. She began her career in social services in St. Louis before moving to Kansas City and working in Section 8 housing and as a Head Start family services worker.
