A free guide of “Local Resources
For The Unemployed’ is now avail-
able to Dallas residents faced with
the problems of temporary or
chronic unemployment.
The easy-to-read directory was
developed as a public service by
United Way of Wyoming Valley in
response to the concerns of people
who are uncertain of where to turn
when unemployment affects their
lives. It was designed to increase
their awareness of local supportive
programs which can help to deal
with current problems and prevent
possible crisis situations within the
household. ;
The brochure addresses normal
feelings and questioned experienced
by an unemployed individual and
lists public and private human serv-
ice agencies that provide assistance
with emergency food, financial,
energy, counseling, medical and
social services. This listing is not a
recommendation for any particular
agency or service, but simply a
statement of what services are
available, where they are located
and how they may be contacted.
Also included are special precau-
tions for job hunters and tips deal-
* ing wiht prolonged periods of unem-
ployment.
Funded by the Rural Health Cor-
poration of Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, the booklet is part of United
Way’s Economic Disruption Pro-
gram (EDP).
“There’s no easy answer to living
with unemployment, except of
course, having a job,;; says Walter
Klepaski, Jr., United Way Director
of Labar Relations and Community
Services. ‘But, during such difficult
times, there are many resources in
our community available to those in
need.”

resources free of charge, contact
