From Our Members
On Friday evening, guests gathered at the stunning Benjamin Bridge Winery to celebrate 40 years of Chrysalis House—a milestone marking four decades of unwavering support for women and children in the community through shelter, outreach, and healing. It was an evening filled with laughter, emotion, and meaningful connection, all in the spirit of raising awareness and funds for a vital cause. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and supporters, over $16,000 was raised to support the continued work of Chrysalis House.
Chrysalis House has always been rooted in community, and this celebration was a powerful reminder of the love and support that surrounds it. Here’s to 40 years of courage—and to the hope, healing, and strength that continue to grow from it.
