Jeffery “Jeff” Drobny, a former resident of Scottdale, AZ, currently serves as a managing partner and chief investment officer at Minneapolis, MN company Garda Capital Partners. Jeff Droby supports several charitable organizations, include Sharing and Caring Hands. Sharing and Caring Hands is a safety-net organization founded in 1985 to provide help to those who are unable to receive help from the welfare system. One of Sharing and Caring Hands’ largest programs is called Mary’s Place, which offers transitional apartments for homeless families. The apartment complex was built using private donations, and includes 100 safe, fully-furnished apartments. Mary’s Place includes 68 large apartments for families of 5-12 people, and 32 smaller apartments for families of 3-5 people. Each of these apartments includes a bathroom, a kitchen, a phone with voicemail, and a television, among other amenities. The complex, which can house at least 500 people at one time, is made fully secure with a 24-hour staffed lobby and ID card entry. In addition to living quarters, Mary’s Place includes a free laundry facility, a playroom for children, a computer room, meeting spaces, a chapel, and a medical clinic. There are also several outdoor facilities, including a playground and basketball courts. Mary’s Place has two large classrooms within the complex where residents can receive tutoring each afternoon. They also provide residents with access to five full-time family advocates, who can assist families with goal planning and help them to obtain housing outside of Mary’s Place. In addition, Mary’s Place offers residents a tenant-training course and budgeting information to help struggling families improve their lives.
