Snow brings work to people in the Skills Bank

All of the recent snow has been an opportunity to work for many people in the Skills Bank. A monetary donation from a local business and shovels donated by John Hall’s Hardware created the opportunity to put people to work clearing the sidewalks of downtown Goshen.

If you are looking to hire an unemployed/underemployed person from the area to shovel your sidewalk or drive, visit the Skills Bank and look under Lawn and Garden for shoveling snow, or do a search for snow from the search box.

Gardening program underway

The Stone Soup Cafe was running short on chairs for the first Garden Program meeting of 2010. It was a gathering of people passionate about finding new ways to bring gardening to neighborhoods, schools, churches and communities across Elkhart County.

There is a lot of great information on community gardening to be found throughout the Food and Gardens section of our website.

Who Funds Hope?

As Elkhart County comes to the end of the second year of the ‘Great Recession’, the community is looking for hope… You can be involved directly in providing hope by supporting an effort that provides work for people who do not have jobs.”
