About Us

How We Got Started

Lavern Elie-Scott, the founder and executive director established Curley’s House of Style in memory and homage to her late mentor, Cuzzie King affectionately known as “Curley”. Curley was devoted to helping the less fortunate in the community embracing all with open arms. Her philanthropic measures encouraged Lavern to carry on her legacy. Hence she later established the Hope Relief Food Bank to continue the traditions of Ms. King.
