Ann Hamilton, Social Worker, Retires March 14th, 2008 marked the retirement of Ann Hamilton, Social Worker stationed full-time at TASK. When TASK began the Social Worker Program in June 2002, which subcontracted Catholic Charities’ Social Workers/Case Managers to work full-time at the soup kitchen, Ann was the first social worker to work here.
Ann quickly built the trust of the patrons and her caseload rose from eight clients each day to an average of 22 clients each day. In 2005, TASK subcontracted a second social worker/case manager to help meet the needs of our patrons. Through her work at TASK, Ann has helped hundreds of people with issues such as health, addiction, employment, and housing. For everything needed from a listening ear to clothes for a job interview, Ann has been there to provide. Suburb work, Ann. Enjoy your retirement! |
