Who’s Marion?
Marion Munford was a driving force behind HOPE’s original Free Clothing Room. She and her “merry band” spent countless hours sorting, washing, mending, and preparing clothing which was available to low income families and individuals. Marion was also a long-time member of HOPE’s board of trustees. She was energetic, cheerful, practical, and compassionate.
