Town Talk: A conversation with Mandy Smulik, NW Works, Inc at the ‘One-Stop Resource Center’

In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Mandy Smulik from the NW Works, Inc in Winchester. The Royal Examiner visited the new ‘One-Stop Resource Center’ at the Warren County Social Services office in Front Royal, Virginia to explore the services available here in our community.

Employment is a great equalizer in our society. But for too long, people with disabilities have been left out of the workforce, widening the existing gaps. NW Works is here to close them. A 501(c)(3) non-profit, NW Works’ programs and services are designed to meet the diverse needs of people 17 years or older who have a long-term disability. They also work with those receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), veterans with disabilities, and others with barriers to employment.

Please reach out to Michelle Smeltzer at Social Services if you need assistance or if your organization offers services that could be included at the ‘One-Stop Resource Center.’ Her telephone number is (540) 635-3430 or by email at michelle.smeltzer@dss.virginia.gov.

Warren County Department of Social Services is a high-performing agency committed to strengthening, supporting, and empowering families so that they can achieve their highest goals as part of the Warren County community.
