"Job Education and Training Center expanding to provide food assistance and other services"

Cecilia Pedroza reports from the Job Education and Training (JET) Center, which has provided job development and employment opportunities to the local Black community since 1968. She interviews two representatives from the Center who are proud to announce an expansion of assistance with financial and food security services for the community, including cashing checks and processing utility payments. The Center will be one of the first non-profit organizations in Southern California to offer such services thanks to efforts from the federal government, the county and their sponsor, Security Pacific National Bank. Due to the limited number of community entities providing such services, this expansion should significantly improve access to vital resources for those in need. Clip includes silent footage of the interior and exterior of the JET Center, including signs and people at service windows.
