To find out about the JfL 500, read below:

October 1, 2009 - 2009 has been a year like no other.  Millions of people have been devastated by unemployment and underemployment and have needed our help.  By the end of September, 1,900 people have been served by Jobs for Life (JfL) sites in 2009, more people at that point than at any other time in JfL's history.  And yet we're 500 men and women away from our 2009 goal of 2,400.  That's why we’re launching the Jobs for Life 500 – a 500 mile journey to impact 500 more lives by the end of 2009. 

Will you join us?  Click video below:

People are running, walking, biking, hiking, swimming, whatever it takes to help us cover 500 miles from now until December 31^st on behalf of those served by JfL.  As they travel their portion of the journey, they are asking their friends to sponsor them with a contribution to JfL, no matter how large or small, and for every $250 they receive, one life is transformed. 

Our goal is to transform 500, and we need your help.

To help us reach our destination:
