NORWICH – Opportunities for Chenango has been assisting people in Chenango County who have multiple barriers to employment, and after leading an eight-week course, the group is now ready to tackle its next task: finding suitable clothes for the participants to wear to an interview.

OFC’s Working for Success program is in collaboration with Catholic Charities, the Chenango County Department of Social Services and Chenango Delaware Otsego Workforce.

Program Coordinator Terri Bickford explained that because of financial hardships, the class needed to come up with a way to get nice clothing for job interviews. In an attempt to do that, the 10 members will hold a fundraiser this weekend.

From 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, the Working for Success class will hold a car wash at Smith Ford, across from the Chenango County Fairgrounds.

“They planned everything,” Bickford said of the class members. “They contacted various places, including Smith Ford. Will Tyrrell called back and generously offered the site and also all of the supplies for our event.”
