Fort Pierce - Friday October 28, 2022: This week on In Focus with IRSC Public Media we speak with Bonnie Matz, the Executive Director of St. Francis Manor in Vero Beach and Linda Monaldi, the Communications and Development Coordinator for the Manor.
St. Francis Manor provides affordable housing for seniors over the age of 62 and you may be surprised that in Vero Beach the need is great and the waiting list for an apartment at the Manor is more than a year.
They’ll tell us about that need and the big fundraiser they’ve planned on November 12 to help ease it.
