Ready, Willing & Working is a finalist in Sugarlands Distilling Company's MoonShare grant program and needs your help! The top 12 nonprofits with the most votes before January 31st will receive a $5,000 grant. This money will allow RWW to provide jobs and supportive services to more homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals.
