ELISHA HUDSON

Mother's Day Out Director

Elisha is a proud mother of three amazing children. She has dedicated over 15 years as a public school volunteer. 

My passion for advocating for women and children led to me working at our local homeless shelter for many years as a Case Manager. The love for serving has always been dear to my heart. Working with our local community has allowed me to connect with many people and share the love of Christ. Throughout my years there I worked as a summer camp counselor and assisted in the annual Christmas program for local families in need. Among many others joys that came along with serving. 

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
