The Allentown Rescue Mission’s Clean Team Workforce
announced its Employee of the Month for March, John H.
John originally graduated from the Allentown Rescue
Mission’s Transformation Program in 2018 and worked for the Clean Team
Workforce. Even though John was a hard
worker, anxiety and depression took over his life and he decided to leave the
Mission.
After leaving, John worked various landscaping and tree care
jobs, but after a few years scraping by financially, he realized that his life
wasn’t working out the way he wanted it to, and he decided to come back to the
Mission for help.
John rejoined the
Transformation Program in August 2022.
He wanted to be a part of the program to learn more about his
relationship with God and build on his life skills. According to John, his faith grew more each
day he was in the program, and he is now applying what he learned in the
classes to start the process of changing his life.
After graduating from the Transformation Program in October,
John began working for the Clean Team Workforce again. He has learned that working outdoors and
staying busy relieves his stress and helps with his depression.
John is a hard worker and has been a great asset to the
Clean Team Workforce. He has been saving
most of his earnings and would like to find a place to live soon, but he wants
to find a permanent job working outdoors in landscaping or construction first.
The Allentown Rescue Mission congratulates John for his
dedication to the Clean Team Workforce and for being patient on his journey
back to independence.
