July Was Another Terrific Month For Our Community!

We believe the only way out of poverty is a paycheck and July was a great month for our community!

July was another terrific month!

Because of you, we served 766 clients in July. Of those 766 individuals, 614 are now employed and earning an average wage of $16.64. And, 82.9 percent of these new employees are eligible for benefits!

This is a big impact in their lives and journeys while building the foundations for future success.

Our clients are our reason why we do this critical work. Thank you for your continued support of our mission here at St. Joseph the Worker!

We’d also like to acknowledge two of our staff members with our Native American Connections (NAC) program for their great work last month:  John Leos and Gina Guitard. John worked to help 67 clients which is more than NAC has ever seen before! 

Thank you to both Gina and John for answering the 800-number and directing clients to your office!
