(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Clean Team Workforce proudly announced its Employee of the Month for July,
Jay C.
Jay graduated from the Allentown Rescue Mission’s Transformation Program in September 2023. He
worked for the Clean Team Workforce after graduating and excelled from the first day. Jay possessed a strong work ethic and valuable skills to succeed. With warehouse and forklift experience, he found full-time employment with an outside company after only a few weeks working for the Clean Team Workforce. Shortly thereafter, he moved into an apartment and started living independently.
Unfortunately, after a little over a year, Jay fell back into old habits and began using drugs. Eventually,
his money disappeared, and he was evicted from his apartment. He spent time living with relatives, sleeping on the couch, but knew he had to stop the landslide that was happening in his life. Jay gave notice to his employer that he needed to step away to get his life in order. He then stopped using drugs, sought counseling, and came back to the Allentown Rescue Mission.
As a former, good-standing Clean Team Workforce employee, Jay was immediately rehired and brought back into the Mission. For men like Jay, the Clean Team Workforce acts as a safety net to help former employees who are experiencing difficult times reenter the workforce. Men returning to the Clean Team Workforce are eligible to receive all the benefits the Mission offers.
Working for the Clean Team Workforce again, Jay has been motivated and an exceptional employee. He is skilled for any job the Clean Team Workforce is hired to do, but “I really like landscaping and doing hard work,” Jay said. He has been an asset to the Clean Team Workforce and has been sincere in getting his life back on track.
The Allentown Rescue Mission congratulates Jay for being nominated as Employee of the Month and wishes him the best for his future. Jay hopes to one day own a small business and property to build a home, but most of all, he wants to be a good provider and father to his two kids.
