Community<br />
Partnerships<br />
<strong>Goodwill</strong> could not do what it does without the tremendous support<br />
of community organizations. We partner with hundreds of local<br />
employers, offering trained, ready to work staff for a variety of jobs.<br />
Organizations also support <strong>Goodwill</strong> by partnering with Go2 Services,<br />
which offers businesses quality property management and contract<br />
services at a competitive price.<br />
Volunteers change lives<br />
Volunteers are central to <strong>Goodwill</strong>’s ability<br />
to make a difference in lives of people who<br />
need help. In 2011, volunteers donated<br />
their time at retail stores and in our<br />
e-commerce business. They served as<br />
financial literacy tutors, job readiness<br />
instructors and assistants in the job<br />
resources room and computer lab.<br />
In addition, volunteers provided support<br />
to a variety of departments within<br />
<strong>Goodwill</strong>’s administrative offices. Many<br />
also took advantage of internship<br />
opportunities throughout the organization.<br />
<strong>Goodwill</strong> employees give back<br />
Employees at <strong>Goodwill</strong> believe that offering a hand up is what<br />
we all need to do. Employees demonstrate their commitment<br />
inside and outside of work, with an exceptional dedication<br />
to the mission – they volunteer at the retail stores and<br />
special events and help people in times of crisis. In addition,<br />
employees also support the mission or their personal charity<br />
through the employee giving fund.<br />
