The Faxon Family And Friends Raise $97K

To Help The Homeless Through The Lord’s Place

Beyond giving, Dory Faxon donates her time and now has
a pavilion dedicated in her name.
Thanks to the generosity of Dory Faxon’s family and
friends in raising $97,173, The Lord’s Place held a dedication
of Dory’s Place on November 26, at its men’s campus in
Boynton Beach. Dory’s Place is a beautiful pavilion that
serves as a gathering space for the formerly homeless men
who reside at William H. Mann Place for Men.
