Renie Denton

I met Renie in 2002 when I moved to NH; she helps me as many other immigrants and refugees to apply for a job. However, she does way more for the Manchester community, and she does it with dignity and respect. I asked the vice president of her board of directors to say some words about Renie. Here is what she said;

As the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the Manchester Community Resource Center, I am thrilled to nominate Renie Denton, our Executive Director, as a Pandemic SHEro. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in NH, Renie was a selfless champion for Manchester’s most vulnerable populations. She helped countless youth and adults engage in job readiness activities and find work, as well as access other supports and public assistance to ensure they and their families can thrive. With the pandemic, Renie never stopped – in fact, she persisted and work longer and harder. When some community-based organizations had to close their doors, Renie kept hers open. She remained mission and vision driven, ensuring that anyone who walked through the doors of MCRC got the help they needed and safely. She remained a constant support for her staff who face daily contact with the public as well.
