Businesses will be provided with a unique opportunity to show community support while benefiting their local businesses.
VENTURA — Business with Heart VC is a four-year-old initiative, of Homes with Heart VC, responsible for helping many families. Originally set up as a program comprised of business members that helped resource families and youth with discounts from each of the local businesses, the program has grown to become an exciting way to provide internships and jobs for our older youth, that will be expanding to biological families and all other families in need. The core of the program is to also help businesses with additional foot traffic and recognition through website, social media exposure, and new signage.
On November 12 at 10:00 a.m., Homes with Heart VC will bring together local businesses via a Zoom learn more seminar. The event will engage business owners, inform them of what’s new in signage, and discuss ways to increase the number of people likely to use the discount cards and visit their businesses. Attendees will also be hearing from youth advocate, Denise Goodman, about the importance of jobs, BWH members including Pizza Man Dan’s, as well as leadership from Homes with Heart VC, Judy Webber, Jaci Johnson and Rosa Mendez.
“We are so excited to welcome and thank our community businesses who have joined in this unique experience to not only benefit their business but to provide the much needed support for our youth in care as well as their families,” said Jaci Johnson, Program Coordinator III of Recruitment ay County of Ventura, Human Services Agency. “We now are able to welcome all businesses, big and small.”
