JARC Training

Rain didn’t stop the connections being made today at the 2026 Annual Reentry and Resource Fair at The Factory, hosted by the Flowers Whiting Initiative ( )

Stephen Johnson, one of our Community Outreach Specialists, represented Maryland Wellness and connected with community members and partners dedicated to supporting successful reentry and workforce development. He was also glad to see Mary Davis and Ron Brandes from JARC Workforce Training and Development, in attendance.

Thank you to the Flowers Whiting Initiative for hosting this important event and to everyone who came out despite the weather to support resources, opportunities, and stronger community connections.
