United Way of EUP hosting phone drive
Contributed
The United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula will be hosting a used phone donation drive through the end of March.
These donations will benefit clients in recovery at Great Lakes Recovery Center, Inc. as well as clients seeking help from other local human resource organizations. COVID-19 has made it harder for those to book an appointment with any organization since most are by appointment only. Being without a phone becomes a barrier for those trying to schedule job interviews, participate in telehealth appointments, or reconnect with family.
“A lot of our clients don t always have access to a telephone or internet which complicates a lot of things, but especially difficult for making appointments/filing claims with Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary of State, Chippewa Luce Mackinac Community Action Agency, etc.,” said William Mourufas, job development/resource specialist at Great Lakes Recovery Centers, In
