So hard to keep up with everything going on, so here’s some things on my mind!
I’m involved in many organizations and often find myself competing with myself – so here’s some things going on you might be interested in! My world’s are colliding in this post . . . I usually keep them more separated!
TENANT RESOURCE CENTER
Giving Tuesday
TRC and Giving Tuesday! – Today, Tuesday, November 28th, Community Shares will waive the credit card fees for ALL ONLINE DONATIONS made to their member nonprofits through our online giving portal at bit.ly/Give2CSW. Tenant Resource Center is a member!
Like the workplace giving campaigns, 100% of all gifts will be passed on to our designated member nonprofits. Learn more about CSW’s nonprofit members and their incredible work: bit.ly/CSWMembers
Hiring
Tenant Resource Center is hiring for two different positions! If you’re looking for a job that pays at least $15 an hour, where there is never a dull moment and you help people with the most basic of needs – housing, then this is the job for you. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but you will know that you are making a difference. We will teach you the tenant-landlord law, so don’t worry about that – you just have to be good with working with people, a great diversity of people . . . did I say, never a dull moment!
