Justice For Homicide Victims

Former California Governor, Jerry Brown joined JHV in celebrating the GRAND OPENING of JHV Hidden Treasures, the only nonprofit, upscale, resale boutique in the Lancaster/Palmdale, California-area operated by volunteers.

The event marked the culmination of months of hard work and dedication of select JHV members including Executive Director, Marcella Leach, Resale Shop Director, Marguerite Hemphill, her husband, Bill and many others.

Also on hand at the event were Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, Steve Ipsen and a slew of onlookers eager for the ribbon-cutting to take place so they could browse the 2,000 sq-foot shop and partake in this truly momentous occasion.

Flanked by supporters, staff, JHV members and a crowd of about 200, the former Governor cut the ribbon - which officially welcomed JHV to the Antelope Valley. Representatives of the Antelope Valley Chambers of Commerce were also in attendance.

The event was kicked off with speeches, a buffet-style luncheon and silent auctions on August 20th. Many local businesses & citizens donated items for the festivities which were coordinated through volunteers.

The mission of JHV to bring guidance, support and education to the community is clearly visible. JHV plans for the nonprofit, resale shop to raise funds which will help the many families and friends who have lost a loved-one to homicide.

JHV wishes to extend a grand THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make this celebration a success. Your hard work and dedication will truly make a difference!
