In August, our employment team worked to place 32 people in jobs, which exceeds their goal for the month. We think that is something worth celebrating. 32 jobs may sound simple, may seem like a drop in the ocean, but at StepUp, we know it is more than a job. We know that means 32 more people who will not wonder how they will feed their family. That is 32 people who will no longer feel the degrading, fearful answer of “no.” That is 32 people who will begin to work towards stability. And that is worth celebrating.
