A-town's Sixth Street Shelter To Open Family Resource Center

Allentown's Sixth Street Shelter, in partnership with EZ-Micro Solutions, will open a new Family Resource Center, this Wednesday at 3:30 PM, according to a statement released by CACLV.

This addition to the shelter, located at 213 N 6th Street, will give residents access to six new computers and a widescreen TV. Access to computers and the Internet is becoming indispensable to successful job searches and educational pursuits.

The center will also offer resident child care.

The Sixth Street Shelter, a program of the Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley, provides the opportunity and direction for all people to become self-sufficient, productive members of the community. Their guiding principle is to help families set and reach their goals through intensive and effective case management, in-house programming, and referrals to appropriate services.

This Wednesday's opening ceremony will star Mayor Edwin Pawlowski and Senator Pat Browne, as well as light refreshments. All are welcome. For more information, please contact the Sixth Street Shelter at 610-435-1490.

    Is that the building? Also isn't EZ Micro owned by someone on city council? Not sure. Could be wrong.

    What job pursuits does one find on a widescreen TV? And isn't job pursuit CareerLink's forte?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
