“Education and Life Developmen Weekly mandatory recovery book study - all clients living in the house. Four 1-hour workshops on Budget, Family of Origin, Spriituality, Finding Your Truth. Assisted two clients in arrangements with the Community College to obtain their GED.”

“Other Program Services: Job Readiness Help to prepare clients for the workforce and for professional development. Work with Crossroads (LRS Vendor) for assistance in securing aid from LA Resource Services. Make available training on resume writing, interviewing, conflict resolution, stress management, loyalty/dependability, work place ethics and other soft skill training. Began developing this program in 2019 to have up and running in 2020. Pademic has stalled and may have cancelled the assistance from Crossroads and LA Resource Services. Other sources of training have not yet been developed.”

“The fundraising event and the raffle held in conjunction with it are the organizations 2 special events. All proceeds fund the scholarship program, without which EDANB would not be able to assist clients at any scholarship level. It is not reported on form 990-T because these events are not regularly carried on and all facets are carried out by volunteers who receive nothing in return. Due to the pandemic there was no annual Spring in the Park event. The only fundraising we had was with 225GIVES sponsored by United Way and the Baton Area Foundation. Only monetary donations were received through this platform”
