Unit 6 – Classroom & Service Projects

Local Social Service Agencies

Mohammad comments that in many communities “Mom and Pop” shops are often the first means of social service for people. Is there a “Mom and Pop” shop in your community that also provides support and service for people? Describe it. Interview someone who works or volunteers there to find out how it helps people obtain the services that they need.
