Volunteers needed for our food pantry, truck deliveries, or helping fill grocery bags.
EDUCATION
Without a GED, many clients struggle to find jobs that keep their families above the poverty line. We offer free GED classes, literacy classes, computer classes, and ESL to our students.
Sign up for classes by calling, emailing or stopping in. See calendar for dates. All classes are free and all are welcome.
CAREERLINK
Everyone needs someone to have their back. Our CareerLink program helps students not only find jobs but also launch their new career by teaching them computer skills, training and preparing them for interviews. CareerLink also allows for students who have graduated from the program to get paid internships with local businesses.
Sign up for our CareerLink program, taught by Miss Tameeca Russell, and get trained for success. Call, email or stop in to register.
Volunteers needed! Also, you can recommend your company to become a corporate partner.
BASIC NEEDS
Our Programs fit into three distinct categories: Basic needs, Education, and CareerLink. The following table gives a detailed explanation of each category. Visit each individual page by clicking the "READ MORE" buttons to register for the programs that fit your needs.
