Making a Difference in the Community
It is hard to tell from his spirited personality, but before volunteering at Providence Hospital. Matt Schacklin says he had no friends, no job and nothing to do after school. He was bored and isolated from the world around him. Thanks to Work Opportunities, Matt now has lots of friends, a support system, and the ability to work and get along with others. 
Joni, a single mother with two children, could not afford the basic needs for her family. Her annual salary of $20,000 put her just above the poverty line for a family of three—too much to receive public aid, but not enough to make ends meet. She had to arrange transportation just to get to work because she can not afford repairs or insurance for her car.
