S7 | E3 | Community Engagement and the Continuing Search for an Airplane to Pull

Optimistic Tales

Dr. Moody talks with a familiar guest of the podcast, Ms. Joni Hendee, Director of Marketing & Public Relations at the Dumas Wesley Community Center (DWCC). Ms. Hendee once again discusses the continuing efforts of community engagement offered by DWCC, such as their Transitional Housing programs, After School Achievement program, The Joseph Project Community Food Pantry, and the 50th Anniversary of their Annual Toy Store, which provides eligible families the opportunity to purchase new toys at a fraction of the cost during the holiday season—exemplifying their “hand up versus hand out” philosophy of community engagement. Whether you wish to make donations or volunteer your time towards any of the numerous programs offered by DWCC, you can reach them at the following address, 126 Mobile Street, Mobile, AL 36607; by phone at 251-479-0649; or through their website at dumaswesley.org.
