The Workfare Program

By performing work for their community, our clients gain an opportunity to improve their work habits and interpersonal skills. The client’s contributions to the non-profit agencies which serve our community will help to continue to make Fort Wayne the city we all proudly call home. The Trustee’s office greatly appreciates the commitment of the clients and community agencies to a program that serves as a bridge to the future, while retaining its links to our past.

– Richard A. Stevenson, Sr., former Allen County Wayne Township Trustee
