Karen Dionisio

FOUNDER
 

Karen graduated from Kent County High School in 1981. After graduation she married Leo and settled down to raise a family in Burke, VA. She and her family came home to Chestertown in 1998. In 1997, around a single ‘woman in need’, she gathered a group of friends to support and guide a family in crisis. From that small act was born the Women in Need organization, one of the Upper Shore’s most prolific agencies supporting families, single parents, the elderly and struggling low income populations in need of guidance. Karen and her family are members of Hope Fellowship Church In Chestertown.
