Through their employment program Worthy Cause empower vulnerable people to access the life they deserve.

2024 Pitch

Funds Raised: $50,100

Rick pitched for funding to be able to employ more people into their employment program. The funds will allow Worthy Cause to increase the impact and reach of their program for the countless vulnerable people in the community crying out for help no one else will offer. The participants work 8-20 hours a week (depending on their ability and stage of their program) and earn above the award rate. This would allow their program to employ approx. 4 additional participants.
