On Saturday, thirty Building Hope volunteers and leaders from other organizations participated in a workshop put on by Jodi Pfarr of aha! Process. Jodi, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, has years of experience providing services to those living in poverty through her work with Catholic Charities and The Salvation Army. Jodi shared her ideas and expertise with dedicated volunteers and leaders as we strive to fulfill our mission to serve those in need here in Cleveland. The Building Hope staff will be meeting to brainstorm ways to incorporate these ideas throughout our ministry areas.
Anyone interested in learning more about the topic of poverty is encouraged to read the book “Bridges Out of Poverty” by Ruby Payne. Participants at the workshop received this book to compliment the material provided throughout the program.
