 Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, a group of MPBP mothers and friends didn't wait to be asked. They saw a need and sprang into action — boarding a bus through the dust-filled streets of Ground Zero, heading to a restaurant to prepare meals by hand, and delivering them straight to the Command Center for the emergency workers on the front lines. Today, we remember and honor the women who showed up: Stephanie Mondesire, Joan Anderson, Marie Jackson, Flo Allen, Pat Croshere, Anne Sealy, Marion Snipes, Rebecca Gatling, Helen Mashburn, Mary Mason, and Janice Camby. Twenty-five years later, their courage and quiet service still define who we are at MPBP.
