Maggie Briscoe is a MOLC success story; having been a part of 2 of our 4 programs. When she lost her job unexpectedly, she became a client of the Basic Needs Program shopping for clothes and furniture for her family. She then enrolled in the Life Skills Program to improve her chances of getting a job with income to sustain her family. She took classes to become a Home Health Aide worker, assisting seniors with basic needs. Currently, Maggie is back on her feet, with the help of MOLC, working in her field and donating clothes and furniture to MOLCís warehouse. She is now giving back to MOLC, an organization that assisted her during a tough time.
