“What a privilege it is to care for families at a very vulnerable time in their lives. It is my passion to offer practical life skills that provide hope for a brighter future.”

Jackie had spent the prior nine years working with homeless families at a transitional home in the area before joining the Vine Maple Place staff. The experience and heart she brings are welcome additions to the Family Services Team. Following tumultuous teenage years Jackie came to salvation through Christ in her early twenties as a young mom. It has been her desire to ‘give back’ and she feels as though each season in her life prepared her for this post working with homeless families.

Jackie and her husband Richard have five grown children as well as five grandchildren who fill much of their free time. They attend Highlands Community Church in Renton.
