We have fantastic news!
Our efforts to expand knowledge of and participation in The Ohio Benefit Bank have paid off in an unexpected but delightful way.
In Allen and Mercer counties, existing OBB sites have created a solid working partnership with the local Job and Family Service departments. This means faster processing of OBB applications and quicker access to services for our OBB clients.
Gayle Loyola, regional coordinator with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks, explained the benefit to all partiers now that this working relationship has been established.
"When we have a relationship with Job and Family Services, it's better for the client all the way around," Loyola said.
Mercer County OBB administrators have invited representatives from the county Job and Family Service Department to attend the free, six-hour computer training that all OBB counselors must complete. The JFS is sending at least one person to participate in the face-to-face training.
"The problem has been resolved," Loyola said. "We are moving forward."
