Online, January 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Wells Fargo has awarded a $10,000 grant to support Operation New Hope (ONH), a nonprofit organization providing affordable housing and job training services to Jacksonville residents. The gift helps provide needed resources or funding to acquire blighted properties for future development and offer certified vocational training for Ready4Work participants. "Without strong community support from local companies, we wouldn't be able to provide services that give families hope," said Brittany Anthony, Director of Fund Development for ONH.
"One of our top priorities at Wells Fargo is community development," said Valerie Hendriex, Community Development Office for Wells Fargo. "So we are very proud to support the efforts of Operation New Hope in helping to rebuild our communities."
Operation New Hope is the home of the ONH Development and Ready4Work programs. ONH Development brings the American Dream of homeownership to our low-income neighbors through new construction, restoration projects, credit counseling and first time homebuyer education courses. Ready4Work assists individuals transition from jail back into the community and workforce by offering case management, life and job skills and job placement services.
