Dee Ellis Foundation Expands Job Training Aid
The Dee Ellis Foundation, named for a Zavala County farmer who sheltered disabled children, expanded to partner with the Texas Rehabilitation Commission and the Social Security Administration's Ticket to Work program. It trains clients for employment, helps them gain social skills, and matches them with local employers for tax credit benefiting jobs. The group renovated a Baytown building after a theft and break-in, with new contractors and local donations, but still seeks materials to finish. Call (832) 597-2171 for information or donations.
