Lake Worth Day Labor Center

The Lake Worth Resource Center, a day-labor center established last fall in the city shuffleboard building to get workers off the streets, will celebrate its first anniversary Friday .

City Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill is scheduled to speak along with laborers and employers who have used the center during the ceremony, set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center at 1121 Lucerne Ave.

Director Lisa Wilson said the center has made 722 job matches, registered 240 employers and logged more than 3,700 volunteer hours.

A graduation ceremony is planned Friday for workers who have completed classes in computing, customer service, carpentry, cake decorating and other skills.
