June Was A Record-Setting Month For Our Community!

We believe the only way out of poverty is a paycheck and June was a record-setting month for our community!

June was an AMAZING month. We were able to assist more clients gain and retain employment than any other month in our history!

Because of you, we served 828 clients in June. Of those 828 individuals, 684 are now employed and earning an average wage of $16.27. And, 71.5 percent of these new employeesare eligible for benefits!

This is a big impact in their life and their journey on their path to 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!
