Kelli is a longtime supporter of HATAS and the Capital Region Furniture Bank. She was instrumental in helping the Furniture Bank get started and without her personal and professional assistance, the program may not have gotten off the ground. “Kelli is an excellent example of what it means to care for our low-income neighbors in need,” said Liz Hitt, Executive Director.
