Braden Biggs, Director of Communications and Program Development at Empowerment Systems, gave us an update of their key programs at our meeting today.Empowerment Systems is a suite of non profits that focuses on multi-dimensional and mental wellness, trying to cover all aspects of wellness.
One of their bigger programs is their community outreach connection center (CORC). CORC is a day center that operates Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm., where community members can get help with identification and enrollment in healthcare benefits and social services for which they are eligible. One of Empowerment Systems' partners is Arizona at Work, which helps people find jobs.
Other Empowerment Systems programs include:
- Monthly healthy harvest food distribution, which offers a drive-through food pick-up service on the third Wednesday of every month.
- During the COVID-19 precautions, food box delivery to people who shouldn't leave their homes
- Laundry services for homeless people, in partnership with Superstition Express Laundry
