Willing Partner
The way forward is different for everyone. It requires the resources to address immediate needs, along with ongoing support and compassion. Above all, it takes real accountability to change situations and conditions built over a lifetime. Here is where the Willing Partner team helps individuals to find a way through difficult times and circumstances.
Based on a “together” concept for helping those in need, Willing Partner works to enable families to become self-sufficient, to find job training and gainful employment, to connect with financial educators to learn financial management and budgeting, to access family and parenting support, and to break the cycle of poverty sustainably.
