It's September - which means it's been 20 years since Jennifer Brost founded The Job Foundation! We are celebrating two decades of impact in Waterloo this month, and want you to join us at an Alumni Picnic on Sept. 12. If you've ever been involved in any way, stop by the Rotary Shelter @ George Wyth so we can reconnect!
