One Mission Cambridge recently announced that Shelly Houlihan has been named Mission Center Manager.
Houlihan moved to the Eastern Shore in 2011 from Michigan with her husband and son after working for 28 years in the healthcare industry as a nursing assistant and licensed nurse. Through her work in individual case management, she developed a passion for assisting patients and advocating for better care, particularly connecting vulnerable populations to available resources. Since leaving the healthcare industry, Houlihan has opened two successful e-commerce businesses.
“Cambridge feels like home and I really wanted to give back to this community. That led me to volunteer at One Mission Cambridge,” she recalls.
“Shelly stepped up from being a valued volunteer to take on this new responsibility of managing our food pantry and resource center. We are thrilled to have her leadership skills and look forward to what she will bring to the Center’s growth,” adds Krista Pettit, Executive Director of One Mission Cambridge.
One Mission Cambridge, formed in 2022, provides quality programs, including a food pantry, community navigation, community dinners, and counseling services at its location at 614 Race Street in Cambridge. Due to the increasing numbers, One Mission Cambridge is seeking volunteers to work three different shifts on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
“I am excited to make a direct impact in the lives of my neighbors and use my prior knowledge to better connect clients with resources, encourage healthy habits, and build a stronger Cambridge community!” Houlihan states.
