Stamford, CT – July 31, 2008…St. Luke’s LifeWorks announces the installation of their new website www.learnaliving.org. The independent non-sectarian organization provides education and skill development coupled with appropriate housing and support services to people facing homelessness in lower Fairfield County.

A $5 ticket invites the donor to participate in an all-day discount shopping event on September 20th and allows LifeWorks to keep 100% of the ticket proceeds.
Learnaliving.org is a colorful, user friendly site that immediately alerts the user to current events with a digital ticker running across the top of the page…Golf Tournament taking place on October 16th and Celebration of Success on November 5th. What’s New on the site’s home page highlights achievements of our participants on their journey toward self-sufficiency and allows users to view photo albums of recent Events including LifeWorks Rocks. Our mission and history are found on About Us and constituents can donate online through the Contribute page. LifeWorks’ Residential, Children’s and Life Long Learning programs are described through links from Programs. Life Long Learning offers participants the opportunity for career development, improved life skills, and computer training to help them become self-sufficient. Workshops offered through Life Long Learning are highlighted and allow for on-line sign up. Many of our workshop presenters and tutors are community volunteers. Opportunities for individuals and groups to help can be found on the Volunteer page; last year over 4,000 individuals volunteered at St. Luke’s LifeWorks, giving more than 15,000 hours of time.
