Hailing Mother Hale.

A historical plaque was unveiled at Hale House on West 122nd Street recently commemorating the vision and compassion of its founder," Mother" Clara Hale. Board Chair Judge Zachary Carter told the guests who gathered at next door's Gwendolyn P. Brown Elementary School that they were celebrating the future of Hale House and the" extraordinary woman" who founded the organization. Carter recalled how, in 1969, Mother Hale created a" loving and warm home" for children in need, and for those whose parents suffered from substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, homelessness and imprisonment. Today, Hale House continues to honor her legacy, providing a warm, loving, nurturing home for infants and young children in need.
