BDJ Center Resource Fair

    The Ben Johnson Educational Center’s mission is to build community in Natchitoches and give access to social and economic success to all its residents. The center offers training, conducts workshops, hosts cooking classes, manages the Legacy Garden and provides healthy food to residents at discounted prices and sometimes free. The BDJ Staff looks for ways to bring services and resources to the community.  

    This Wednesday, October 19, 2022, there will be close to 20 vendors gathered at BDJ Center at 400 MLK to share information, resources and provide job opportunities to residents. Onsite will be Cane River Food Pantry, Bank of Montgomery, Engage Federal Credit Union, Natchitoches Parish Housing Authority, Louisiana Workforce Commission, Disabled Veterans, Women’s Resource Center, Natchitoches Parish Library, Shreveport Job Corps Center, Louisiana Rehabilitation Services, Boys & Girls Club, Save the Children, Community Counseling, Natchitoches Homeless Coalition and Gold Street Head Start. The Ben Johnson Educational Center will be taking applications for AmerCorps VISTA positions at the center, as well as the Legacy Cafe.
