Power Lunch! We are excited to be partners with H.I.S. Bridgebuilders, a non-profit organization with a focus on job training and job placement. The friends at Bridgebuilders are blessings in the lives of many, many people. We are thankful for them. Once per quarter at each apartment community, we are co-hosting a "Power Lunch" with Bridgebuilders...it is a time of teaching, prayer, and learning about the job training and placement process! An opportunity to get a job, especially for those needing a "second chance" because of a legal or other issue, is a gift. We are thankful for Bridgebuilders and excited for our friends looking for a job to have this opportunity.
Last week at Village Oaks, we hosted our first ever Power Lunch. Towards the end of our Question and Answer time, an older man raised his hand. He started by saying that he was about to turn 62 years old. He was worried about finding work at his age, and worried that he would be stuck in his circumstances for the rest of his life. There was a strong sense that he had no hope.
Von, who works with BridgeBuilders, looked at the 62 year old man and responded by saying that age does not play a factor. While BridgeBuilders cannot guarantee a job to everyone, they can provide training and friendship to all who are interested. And if this man was interested, then he was welcome!
We are thankful to be working with an organization like BridgeBuilders!
