An open house retirement party with the public, past and present board members will be held for longtime “We Care” Executive Director Marty Thompson on Sunday, Oct. 18 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church located at 11600 Los Alamitos Blvd. in Los Alamitos.
We Care, a non-profit agency located in Los Alamitos, provides supportive services for local families including rent, mortgage and utility assistance as well as distribution of food and personal care items.
During her 19 years at the helm of WE CARE, Marty has assisted hundreds of families who are at risk of becoming homeless. Marty is well known and respected by local church and community leaders for her tireless dedication to families and children in need.
Marty’s prior careers in banking and finance along with her life-long commitment to community volunteerism with the PTA, Boy’s and Girl’s Scouts and National Charity League, allowed her to successfully lead WE CARE into the 21st century.
Marty said she has loved every minute of her 19 years at WE CARE.
Her retirement time will be spent with family and friends, gardening and creating stained glass pieces.
