 ladies of the ie in the news Below are a few recent articles from local media/newspapers where the Ladies of the IE are mentioned. “I’ve been homeless more than once. Life happens, and it’s a roller coaster,” “The more you talk to people (and) you hear their individual stories, the more you realize they can’t be grouped into one solution.”  "Christy Mac, the founder of Ladies of the IE for Strong Communities and an advocate for Upland-area homeless, encourages people to report panhandlers to her group and others like it so they can help. Mac carries “emergency bags” containing jackets, blankets hygiene kits and more in the trunk of her car to hand out to those in need, as well as lists of shelters, food banks, and similar homeless-focused resources. She rarely hands out money, she said.
