Speaker Series: Davis Community Meals and Housing
Food, Shelter, and Hope
For more than 30 years, Davis Community Meals and Housing (DCMH) has been assisting unhoused community members in and around Davis with food, shelter, referral services, and more. In 2023, DCMH opened their doors to Paul’s Place, their new resource center and shelter. Join us as Becky Marigo, DCMH Program Director, and Harmony Scopazzi, DCMH Family Advocate, discuss how their organization serves the homeless population in Yolo County, give us an overview of Paul’s Place, and discuss DCMH’s longstanding partnership with STEAC.
About Speaker Series
The mission of STEAC is to provide immediate short-term assistance with basic necessities to Yolo County families and individuals with income below the poverty level. In addition, STEAC is committed to enlarging the social awareness of the community and to provide opportunities for local citizens to help others in need.
It is the second part of our mission that was the impetus for creating these speaker events.
Our purpose is to provide a forum for local experts in the fields related to STEAC’s mission to share their knowledge and perspective to our STEAC community of staff, volunteers and donors. Our intention is to add to the community conversation around poverty to increase public awareness and inform our actions as individuals and an organization.
If you have some great ideas on who could be a speaker, we are looking for you! STEAC strives to be a volunteer led organization and is creating a “Speakers Committee” to research, nominate, and select the future speakers for what we intend to be a permanent program here at STEAC. If you are interested, please send an email to [email protected] and we will get you more information.
