Kelli's daughter, Carlee, has Spinal Muscular Atrophy and is continuously uplifted throughout the community, which has become a powerful source of support along her journey. Kelli and Jason's children are a true testament to this community. For that, Kelli will continue to build up Rutherford County and strive to make it an excellent place for people to thrive.
Lacey Wilkins
Lacey Wilkins found her passion for helping women and children experiencing homelessness while working on the homelessness services response team as a maternal-child nurse. In 2016 Lacey began volunteering with Stepping Stones Safe Haven in Murfreesboro, and in 2019 she decided to take on the role of executive director for Stepping Stones.
Lacey serves with the intention of helping women and children experiencing homelessness not only find housing but also help them remain housed. "We're working to help you be equipped in that journey... we're staying connected and engaged to help you troubleshoot when things pop up."
One of the most significant efforts Lacey and her team are earnestly working to implement is helping the community understand how to assist our neighbors and homeless individuals in ways beyond actions like donating clothes to charity. She reminds us that homelessness isn't limited to addiction or domestic violence. It could be a single mother without a safety net or someone facing a job loss. Lacey understands that real change happens when we work together to achieve a more significant collective impact.
