Greetings All,

I'm not sure if this link has been posted before..(I did a search and couldn't find anything..really, I did) and I wasn't sure where to post, but this seemed the most logical place.

I happened upon a job listing for call center agents for Goodwill here in Jacksonville (just 3 minutes from my home)..Anyway, after I applied, I went "snooping" around Goodwill and ran into this little nugget. The information states:

"Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
SCSEP is a training and employment program for older adults funded through the U.S. Department of Labor. As a program participant, you will receive paid training, gain valuable skills and experience, and build self-confidence.
You will be able to contribute your skills and talents in your community by training at important locations such as libraries, schools, housing agencies and food banks.
Currently, we offer comprehensive services for persons 55 and older in six states, including the entire state of New Mexico; large portions of Washington, and Virginia; and in the counties near Fort Washington, PA; Indianapolis, IN; and Phoenix, AZ."

I thought it may be of value to some of our members...Heck, I was looking for a used fridge (mine passed away this weekend ) when I stumbled on the job opening...wasn't even in the job search frame of mind...

Anyway, just trying to be helpful..

Be well all,
Namaste'

Thanks for posting. I am sure that this information will be useful for some Members.

Have you tried Freecycle: http://www.freecycle.org/
or Craigslist to see if you can find a free refrigerator?

I know someone that works at the Indianapolis one and they have talked about this program and said they do this a lot and they have been getting a lot of stimulus money for it. They are usually just part time jobs but, they definitely help people.
