Susan Shevell is a dedicated NCS volunteer, spending most Saturday afternoons with us. After raising her children in Livingston, NJ, and retiring from her family’s business, she moved to the Upper East Side in 2016. With more time on her hands and a new community, she wanted to find meaningful volunteer work— and we’re so happy she chose NCS!
“Volunteering at Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”
The Chalfants were introduced to NCS almost 10 years ago by their friends and long-time NCS supporters, Hugh Fremantle and Susan Stevens who thought correctly that Kathleen and Henry would be moved by NCS’s work. They began making annual contributions and soon committed to monthly donations to support NCS’s clients. But when the pandemic started, they wanted to do more... and we had the perfect role for them!
At NCS, we think of ourselves as a family helping our neighbors. For two of our board members, they really are family!
