Community Resource Fair scheduled


Mobile Works, Inc. in conjunction with Dumas Wesley Community Center will hold a Community Resource Fair on Tuesday, May 19 from 3 p.m. � 6 p.m. The event will be held at the Dumas Wesley Community Center, 126 Mobile Street and aims to connect the unemployed and underemployed with resources and supportive services to ensure success in the workforce.

�The Community Resource Fair was created to address concerns from Commissioner Ludgood and Councilman CJ Small, states Sydney Raine,� Mobile Works president. �Often, our elected officials are asked to assist with finding employment and supportive services for their constituents. Our goal is to showcase the services provided by these agencies in an attempt to empower job seekers and help those currently working to retain their employment.�

Some of the agencies scheduled to exhibit at this event are: Alabama Career Center, 211/Lifelines Family Counseling, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Our Sister's Closet, Mobile Works, Victory Health Partners, Goodwill Easter Seals, Telamon and other non-profits will be in attendance.

�We know that a job can change a life, stabilize a family and build a community. We are fortunate to have community partners like Mobile Works who understand the economic and social benefits of workforce development � especially for our underserved residents,� said Kate Carver, executive director of the Dumas Wesley Community Center.

Non-profit agencies interested in exhibiting at this event should call Pamela Ware at 251.432-0909 ext. 140 or send an e-mail to [email protected] or contact Joni Hendee at 251-479-0649 or via e-mail at [email protected].
