Hope Harbor’s Executive Director Cindy McKittrick, who moved to Montevideo last year, decided it would be a good opportunity to spread the word about Hope Harbor’s mission in the local area, thus Cindy and her husband Wade will be hosting the event at the River Crest Golf Club on March 30th. “I just thought it would be a really fun way to introduce people to Hope Harbor. We can serve teens from this area, and a lot of churches and organizations support us in this area. So it’s an opportunity for the local community to learn more about the ministry,” McKittrick says.
