Wells Fargo Donates $5,000 to support Save the Family Career Development Center

Sept. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Wells Fargo has donated $5,000 in support of Save the Family’s Career Development Center.  The Career Development Center is adjacent to Save the Family’s main program facility in Mesa.  The Center is staffed with two full-time employees and one VISTA volunteer who work together to assist clients in their job search.  Volunteers also aid clients in resume writing, interview techniques and GED tutoring.    

Save the Family (www.savethefamily.org) provides transitional housing and case management services to more than 300 families a year.  With more than 165 housing units serving homeless families with children throughout the Valley, Save the Family is changing the face of homelessness one family at a time.  Through programs like Career Development and domestic violence and parenting classes, clients in Save the Family’s program learn to become both economically and emotionally self-sufficient.

MISSION STATEMENT:  We help children in homeless families by treating the whole family with programs to break the negative cycles of poverty, abuse and homelessness.  We strengthen the Valley’s communities by facilitating their transition to self-sufficiency
