"The Senior Community Service Employment Program gave me new hope after losing my mother and my wife to medical issues. I had fallen on hard times and became homeless. But SCSEP got me job training, helped me get into an apartment and now I have a great job at Goodwill's donation center." 
- Ed, a Senior Community Employment Service Program
