We are kicking off 2022 with a new project! The "Angels In The Kitchen" Cookbook is ready for your special recipe contributions.

We invite recipes from anyone affected by crime and those who support the work of VOCAL. First responders, criminal justice personnel, elected officials, and others who have a special memory and recipe to share.

This is a fundraising project for Vocal Angel House. We hope to have the books available for purchase around mid-April 2022. There is no charge for recipe contributions.

You can download the recipe collection form to fill out at: https://vocalonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/RecipeCollection.pdf, or type or handwrite your recipes. Use the submission information listed below. We look forward to each recipe, memory, and pictures of fun in the kitchen!

On the 45th anniversary of her daughter's death, Miriam Shehane shares the story of Quenette, and the effect her life had on crime victims in Alabama. VOCAL, Victims of Crime and Leniency was born from the tragedy that the Shehane family endured and their willingness to allow Quenette's legacy to help those who came after them.
