Clean Team Workforce November Employee of the Month
(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Clean Team Workforce congratulates its Employee of the Month for November, Antoine T.
Antoine T. came to the Allentown Rescue Mission in 2014 after an argument with his girlfriend’s family left him on the street with nowhere to go. At the Mission, Antoine graduated from the Transformation Program, which made him eligible to work for the Clean Team Workforce. He worked for the Clean Team Workforce for several months and successfully transitioned to a job outside of the Mission.
Recently, Antoine was laid off from his job. Thankfully, the Clean Team Workforce provides a lifetime safety net to help good-standing, former employees who find themselves without a job. For the second time, Antoine could return to the Clean Team Workforce and immediately begin working to earn money and maintain his lifestyle.
When Antoine returned to the Clean Team Workforce in September, he became instrumental in relocating the Clean Team Workforce tools and equipment to a new garage. The move took approximately one month to complete, and Antoine ensured it was finished on time. He will tell anyone, “I want to do the hardest work there is!” He thrives on the hardest manual labor that the Clean Team Workforce has to offer.
Today, Antoine is a crew leader and driver. His crew is assigned to a recycling facility where they work full-time. He is saving money and hopes to gain permanent employment with the recycling company. He is doing a great job so far, and the Clean Team Workforce wishes him the best for his future.
The Allentown Rescue Mission, a 501c3, 145 bed non-profit homeless shelter has been providing shelter to men in crisis since 1900. In addition to emergency shelter services (365 days a year), the Allentown Rescue Mission offers a faith-based residential life skills program, and transitional employment on the Clean Team Workforce that’s available for hire to the community. The Clean Team Workforce pays the men above PA state minimum wage– helping them save a nest egg to transition back into the community. In a typical year, the Allentown Rescue Mission provides shelter services for nearly 1,000 men and serves more than 60,000 meals to men in need.
