At the corporate campus in Claysburg, Pennsylvania, Sheetz constructed new facilities, including a Distribution Center in 2001 and Sheetz Bros. Kitchen in 2008, increasing the need for more employees.
The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh offers programs that help residents build job skills, but HACP discovered a problem. For parents working nontraditional hours or looking for new jobs, lack of access to child care created a barrier to participation. That gap inspired creation of the ABK Collaborative.
Child care challenges can lead to issues affecting both employees and employers, like attendance, productivity, and job retention. Due to cost, availability, and shift hours, working families with young children often layer their child care solutions.
