The Better Way Anaheim Program has assisted our school district with serving those in need in our community including our food distribution and health products distribution. The Better Way Anaheim Program provided both energy and support to our organization and we appreciated their contribution of time, energy and service. Below are some other examples of their support to the community:  The Better Way Anaheim Program has provided opportunities for those Experiencing Homelessness to serve the needs of the community by working at Food Pantries, in City Parks and in neighborhoods to help meet the needs of our families and make the community a better place.  The program is a win-win as it provides opportunities for those experiencing homelessness to be part of a workforce team in Anaheim for Anaheim that meets real needs by providing operational support for schools, City of Anaheim Departments, and residents, especially those in need and senior citizens.  The Program provides the labor for organizations and individuals who need a workforce team or operational support to accomplish a service such as large food distributions and other projects.  The Program gives real life opportunities that allow those experiencing homelessness to gain stability and growth as they serve others. Please accept our endorsement for Better Way Anaheim.
