First Impressions

 

First impressions cover 25

First Impressions is a collaborative program between the United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County and three partner agencies: Hospitality Center (of Catholic Charities), Community Care Prayer Outreach, & United Board of Missions.

 

The ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Report documents that the 2010 Census

found that 19% of our community living in poverty and another 26% living in survival mode. ALICE spotlights that our families are not only unemployed but under employed.

In 2019, Mid & South Jefferson County has seen the promise of industrial growth and expansion plans. Opportunity is just around the corner for our workforce.

The workforce boom will impact the service industry, healthcare, small business and industrial.
