LeBron James is bringing more goodwill to his hometown of Akron, Ohio, with new state-of-the-art employment development and financial literacy center.
This week, the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF) announced that it s opening a 60,000-square-foot complex that aims to provide services like financial literacy training, job skills training and recreational spaces for local youth. The House Three Thirty project will feature amenities like a coffee café and a dining area and will be available to residents of the city, according to Time.
The LeBron James Family Foundation has announced the launch of House Three Thirty, a multipurpose facility that aims to serve the community in the NBA star’s hometown of Akron, Ohio.
The facility will provide job and financial health training, and other resources, including counseling for those looking to start small businesses.
The project will be housed at the iconic Tangier Restaurant & Cabaret in Akron, and is set to open in 2022.
“Our main goal in everything we do is to support and prepare our families for a better future,” James said in a press release. “And this concept, House Three Thirty, is the next step of that journey. I’m excited to open a space that puts everything we want to offer them under one roof. From getting them hands-on job training and financial guidance to having a space for important community events and safe physical activities, this is what we’ve learned our community needs. I can’t wait to see this come to life.”
When “The View” co-host
Rev. Raphael Warnock about the robotic attacks of his Republican opponent for U.S. Senate,
Kelly Loeffler, (she robotically accused him of being a “radical liberal” a total of 13 times during their recent debate), Warnock initially refused to take the bait.
“I can’t be distracted by that,” he said. “As we say in the South, God bless her heart.”
But eventually, he pounced.
“Listen, Kelly Loeffler’s trying to change the subject and I don’t blame her,” he continued. “She cannot justify why she still has that seat. She was appointed to that seat because she is a high Republican donor and she’s an investment professional and she didn’t waste any time trying to make good on her investment.”
