MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

Cynthia Gilkeson

Member in Newburgh/Orange County


Member since: 2013

​

Why are you a CVH member?

I found out about CVH when I was in a welfare office trying to make ends meet for my family. I met an organizer at the time who told me about the work CVH was doing and I've been here ever since because I know that we can make a change.

​

I am a member because I want to bring change to Newburgh. My kids grew up here, and I've lived here for a long time. I want to make my home a place that is safe and comfortable for everyone that lives here.
