Planting the Seeds for Success

Planting the Seeds for Success

Sustainable employment is often something that the homeless clients at St. Anthony Family Shelter lack.

The year-old Seeds for Success program aims to cultivate employment success through educational growth opportunities, job training, financial literacy and funding for required paperwork and workrelated materials.

With initial funding from a generous estate gift and a Community Services Block Grant, the Seeds program benefited 93 people in 31 different families by the end of September 2020, including 78 percent of clients who obtained employment in about three weeks.

Several were hired by local employers who are partnering with Catholic Charities.
