“The Working Centre is grateful to Enova Power for creatively supporting our community commitment to care for those who are the most left out,” said Joe Mancini, The Working Centre’s co-director and co-founder. “The Working Centre forms a village of supports that includes employment, the daily meal at St. John’s Kitchen, outreach supports, shelter and housing, and social enterprises. We work to offer practical, wraparound supports that involve many in our accepting community. We appreciate Enova’s support for our work.”
The Working Centre was founded in 1982 as a response to poverty and unemployment in downtown Kitchener. The Working Centre has grown to encompass more than 30 ongoing projects, including a community kitchen, food distribution, and job assistance programs.
