East Side House Settlement

Opportunity starts with connection. Last week, East Side House hosted a successful Community Job Fair at our Mitchel Community Center, bringing together job seekers, employers, and community partners committed to growth and opportunity.
Attendees explored career paths, met program directors, signed up for workforce development workshops, and sharpened their skills through mock interviews — all while taking meaningful steps toward their goals. 💼
We’re proud to invest in our community’s future and remain committed to creating pathways to success.

Today, we honor and remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 
On this Memorial Day, we reflect with gratitude, recognize the sacrifices made by military families, and honor the legacy of those who gave so much for others.
As we gather with loved ones, let us also take a moment to remember those we commemorate today.
