Buffalo News: Eagle Scout project aids needy in search of a job
(Lou Michel – Buffalo News) Getting a job could be getting a little easier for the poor.
A boutique clothes closet dedicated to providing financially strapped individuals with suitable attire for job interviews officially opened Friday.
The clothes closet is at the Matt Urban Hope Center, 385 Paderewski Drive, across from the old Central Terminal. Hours are 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. weekdays.
But the facility might not have been possible if it weren’t for two area Boy Scouts in search of an Eagle Scout project.
Alexander Fumerelle, 17, of Kenmore and a member of Troop 37, refurbished the women’s bathroom and tiled the runway.
