Jane is a thirty-five year old resident of one of Maine's poorest rural areas. After spending many years as a laborer, and suffering an injury that cost her full use of one hand, "Jane" took advantage of the opportunity to work at FAITHWORKS. Finding an environment that she liked, and that accepted her, she quickly distinguished herself as a dependable and conscientious employee. She was soon promoted to a supervisory position, and said of this development,

"This is more of an opportunity than I've probably had all my life to be something more than just a menial laborer."
-"Jane"

This is the essence of the FAITHWORKS employment experience, the opportunity to come as you are and be a valuable member of a business and community.
