Repurposed People

Big things coming to Haywood county! Repurposed people will be point person in establishing a re-entry council! Being in this field for over two decades, that is on one side of the fence & the other we know all too well the importance of synergy and collaboration of resources. With that being said this is the beginning of a real infrastructure to support the re-entry of our loved ones and community members! A special thanks to

The boy and I spent a couple of hours this evening trying to help our community. I’m big on takeaways so when I pointed out how cold he was I brought up that people are sleeping in tents out in this weather bringing up how at one point of my recovery journey I was a single dad on disability/housing voucher/EBT and had to ask Salavation Army for assistance with our heat bill some winters. The takeaway I emphasized was ~Greatfullness~ and how he will be sleeping in his warm bed tonight after enjoying a ride on the polar express earlier this week! Somewhere during this time one of Hazelwood’s homeless population walked by (Bundled up,coat,backpack & tent on shoulder) my son noticed this person and later pointed it out to me, I pray moments like these resonate with him….

As we all continue to work through this tragedy I would like to ask everyone to be kind to all of the volunteers and workers out there in the community. We are all on edge but that’s no reason to take it out on them. 🫶🏼

I’m currently on a 21 Day Fast with my church and Facebook is one of the things that I am fasting from, so I’m not here for comments or likes, but I need your help to raise awareness about the upcoming Second Chance Job Fair. If you’re an employer—or know an employer—looking for hardworking, reliable people and ready to tap into an untapped talent pool, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

Please help me spread the word! Special thanks to Diana, Micah, and all the partners who have dedicated their time, energy, and resources to make this happen. This is our first annual event, and we’re just getting started—we won’t stop here.
