The Brenda Strafford Foundation

International Women’s Day 🩵 Today we celebrate the women across The Brenda Strafford Foundation — our residents, clients, staff, volunteers, partners, and community members.

March is National Social Work Month and National Nutrition Month. This month, we’re recognizing and thanking our incredible dietary teams and social workers for the care and support they provide each day. Thank you to our social workers and dietary teams!

Today is #PinkShirtDay, an important reminder that bullying and abuse cause real harm, but small acts of kindness can help create safer, more respectful, and more welcoming communities for everyone. Join us in wearing pink today, and let’s keep choosing kindness, together.
