A meal can go a long way in bringing people together and supporting families as they work toward a brighter future. Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast is inviting local restaurants and organizations to take part in Feed Families on Fridays, an initiative that helps provide meals to families participating in the Multi-Generational Career Acceleration Program.

The program helps parents prepare for careers in healthcare while their children take part in educational and enrichment activities in a supportive environment. Through Feed Families on Fridays, local businesses and organizations have an opportunity to support these families while giving back to their community.
