Laura Snyder (she/her)

Founder

Mountain Home was created by Laura Snyder, who through her work as a labor and delivery nurse became compelled to respond to the urgent need for teenage mothers to have a safe place to live with their babies. In 2000, Laura gathered together a great group of people to form Mountain Home’s first board. They joined forces with a local philanthropist, Bonnie Hamilton, who generously donated her home to the cause. Gypsy Ray then became the founding Executive Director, and Mountain Home was born! Laura continues to contribute her talents and passion to Mountain Home as a star volunteer and engaged advisory board member.

Astrid Weinstein (she/her)

AmeriCorps VISTA Member

Astrid is part of the Americorps VISTA program which aims to help communities fight against poverty through projects all around the country (Learn More!). Astrid’s project at Mountain Home involves creating an online inventory of donations so clients and other non-profits will be able to access them. She will also be working on making a boutique shop for clients to choose their own products. A volunteer program will be set in place to help with each step such as organizing, adjusting inventory, pricing, ect. Astrid’s goal as a VISTA is to create a long-lasting program that will promote Mountain Home’s mission by providing women and children access to basic necessities through capacity building and community outreach.
