Help Your Economy Thrive

"I am a divorced Mother of two teens, that found herself without a job, and dealing with an eviction process. At Met Council, they helped me with Computer skills, and made three resumes from the one original resume I had. I'd been searching for 8 months for a job, any job. Once I got my new resumes, I found a job 2 weeks later as a Production Coordinator for Talbots."

"I've been a volunteer with Habitat of Greater L.A. since 2004 and I love to brag about my involvement. Their staff is made up mostly by volunteers turned staff, including their President/CEO. I take pride in my work with them and hold dear in my heart the families I've built with and for, as well as the hundreds of other volunteers I've met and who've also touched me."

Background

Especially now, encouraging economic development is crucial in both our country and around the world. Food prices are up globally and 13 million Americans are out of work.

Creating a strong economy doesn't just mean creating new jobs. Improving literacy rates, life expectancy, and poverty rates are also necessary to create economic development.

By helping nonprofits create economic growth and development, you can help create new jobs and improve the quality of life in your community.
