Labor Day for Dignity is going virtual!
This year’s Labor Day for Dignity virtual event is happening at a crucial time. We believe work is a part of God’s identity, and He gave us work as a gift to continue His creation, live out our unique calling, and worship Him. Work has value and the power to heal. We need to make a shift in the way we view our work. Work isn’t simply about what we do, it is also about who we are and created to be. And with recent economic downturn, rising unemployment rates, and job uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for people to discover the dignity of work is more critical than ever before.

Since April, we have equipped more than 100 leaders to take Jobs for Life back to their communities. Our goal is to equip 100 more this year. To do so, we must engage visionary leaders who desire to see their communities transformed. Your gift will support us in doing just that!
Even if you can’t attend the virtual event, we hope you will still consider getting us to our $75,000 goal. We appreciate you and could not do this important work without you!
