In December, WOLDE will launch our Don't Ignore Our Working Poor Blog offering postings that feature issues facing working poor families. Initial postings will be written by staff members and will cover topics such as minimum wage, health care, transportation, childcare, and other issues that directly affect our target population.

Join us on Thursday, November 15th at 11AM for our Grand Re-Opening! The New Castle County Chamber of Commerce will be conducting an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrating our new location. Come see our career computer center, meet new staff members, and join other supporters! For directions, refer to the google map here on our site.

Hope to see you on the 15th!

Whenever someone visits our center for the first time they are instantly struck by the color scheme of our office - purple. We are often asked "why PURPLE?".

Purple was chosen as the official agency color to reflect our position that the working poor should be a bipartisan issue and of equal concern to both Democrats and Republicans. As votes are counted during elections party lines are referred to as "blue or red states", and as we all remember from Kindergarten fingerpainting, blue and red when mixed make PURPLE.

While WOLDE is a nonpartisan organization, we believe that the issue of our working poor isn't about RIGHT or LEFT, but is rather one of RIGHT and WRONG. We encourage citizens to investigate voting records and positions of their elected officials when considering candidates.
