Show Outreach program offers services to younger citizens in need of help i J ! ! Elna Burgener, the Community Action Outreach representative in the Pleasant Grove-Lindon Area, will now be helping those younger than Senior Citizen age as well. Elna has worked with the senior citizens in the Outreach program for the past 13 years. She has just begun working with the younger ones, too. She said that no matter what type of problems there may be, whether it is with transportation, H.E.A.T., career training, abuse problems or any other situations, she can be of assistance. She would like to let those needing help know which services are available to them and make sure they get the best there is to offer. Elna stated she would like to get it set up like they do for the senior citizens where they are all listed and she can contact them to let them know what is available for them. She would also like to provide a shoulder for them to lean on when necessary. There are helps provided for career guidance which offers training and how to present themselves them-selves when they look for employment, em-ployment, dealing with incest and other forms of abuse, health programs, budgeting, etc. Elna said she has a dream to be able to provide cooking classes to help those on low income so that they can get along better. She would like to have the services available right here locally since there is a transportation tran-sportation problem for many people. She would like to have a baby sitting trading service provided. Anyone who needs help of any kind, which is handled by the Outreach program, should call Elna. She is at home after 5 p.m. at 785-3769 785-3769 or from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Pleasant Grove Senior Citizen Center, 785-2818, weekdays. Elna BurgeneP ' r v a |
