United Way's Youth Volunteer Group (Formerly the Scooby Doo Gang) met on Saturday to once again pack some peanut butter sandwiches for the homeless. Guest Speakers included Tanya Van Scoy of Come As You Are Ministries, and Lindsey Lenhart of Service That Smiles. Later, some of our amazing volunteers showed back up at Lion's Park in Fort Myers to distribute the meals they made!

Lisa & Greg of our Hendry Glades office shared the following photos and information:
Greg and I went to the Re-Grand Opening of the Goodwill Thrift Store and Community Resource Center in LaBelle Wednesday morning. Goodwill Joblink will no longer be in the LaBelle United Way House. They are rebranding the Joblink Centers to Community Resource Centers and LaBelle is the first location in this pilot program. Their space is beautiful and they also expanded the thrift store. So happy for Fernanda Geronimo that came from their Lehigh location as a program participant and volunteer and now is a full time employee as the Coordinator for this Center.
We have plans for the Joblink office at LaBelle United Way House to update the space and make it a full time counseling space for the LaBelle Outreach staff for ACT. This move will allow more space for rotating offices for additional agencies to come into the building. We are already talking with Family Initiative who is interested in expanding to Hendry and Glades as well as a position for Big Brothers Big Sisters for Hendry County.

Congrats Nancy on your new daughter-in-law and Nicholas on your new journey together with Andrea!
The Broncos thought it was so cool, they put it on their website." How cool! on
