For over 23 years, Women’s City Club member Joan McAllister has published a monthly newsletter that is distributed in 180 New York City hotels, shelters, and apartment buildings where homeless families live. Acting as reporter, writer, photographer, and publisher, Joan’s newsletter, “How… When… Where,” informs families in the vast city shelter system about jobs, child care, food, housing and their legal rights.
We are so proud to count such a pioneering woman among our extraordinary, civic-minded members. Ms. McAllister joined the WCC in 2002 and serves on our Poverty Issues Committee. Please click here to read a New York Times article reporting her work serving New York City’s homeless community.
