Welcome Center in the Works
Monday, January 7th, 2008The needs in our community are so diverse. Available services are scattered throughout our county. Sometimes the only thing keeping a need from being met is the unawareness of where to find the right resource. Welcome, We Help, inc. has a vision of becoming a beacon for needy citizens in our community. The organization has a goal of creating a 24-hour hotline that directs callers to the available resources and caters to specific needs. The idea behind this organization is to empower the people to take control of their financial situations and help educate people to become more aware of the sources available in their community. This is no easy task and steps are underway to organize county information and train individuals to operate a help line.
Volunteers know and understand that change will not take place at the twitch of a nose, a tap of a wand, or at the blink of an eye. Change will take time.
