Community Resilience
This project will focus on a group of seniors who are currently active at the COME Center, on a weekly basis.The grant will be used to provide computer training and sewing classes for a group of 25 senior citizens. Both classes are very popular with this target group as it helps them access services online and maintain physical and mental dexterity. In addition, the sewing classes provide seniors with the opportunity to supplement their income.
The Community Outreach Mentorship & Empowerment Center, established in 2012, main goal is to assist in the alleviation of poverty for seniors and displaced individuals/families, provide basic education in the form of literacy and numeracy programs, and provide skills training which will increase employability and enhance opportunities for self-growth.
