Mary Babiec works at Mansion Nursing Home in Central Falls, 3-4 days a week. Her responsibilities include sandwich preparation, setting up food trays for delivery by the “food truck” and cleaning. Before this job, she was employed for 17 years at Cartie’s Health Center. “I love my job because it not only keeps me busy, but I enjoy the people and the work,” she exclaims. “I like earning money so I can pay for new clothes, food, and movies on Thursdays. I feel it is important to be independent and to learn to spend money wisely.” Mary is grateful to the Arc staff who provide transportation to and from work each week and for their assistance with banking.
