Goodwill 2020 Annual Report

FINDING THE GOOD IN every day
Our mission is to provide
opportunities for people
with disabilities and other
barriers to employment
seeking independent and
productive lives.
As we reflect on this interesting year we’ve all shared, somehow the challenges
and hardships seem to fade away as the amazing people and moments of good
shine bright in our memories.
Prior to COVID-19, we were on track to have our best year yet - both in store
performance and in the number of people we serve. But sometimes life throws
a curve ball and you adjust. We are so proud of the perserverance of our
staff, program participants and students who have found positivity in these
challenging times and focused on doing their best.
Our retail staff put their best foot forward and gracefully handled ups and downs,
store closings and re-openings, new safety precautions and much more, all while
smiling behind their masks. The e-commerce team thrived during a time where
online shopping was more popular than ever and we were thrilled to honor
Shopgoodwill for the very first time as Store of the Year. Despite times when our
services were on hold, we were still able to help 269 individuals with disabilities
or other barriers gain valuable job skills. Three superstars in our Project SEARCH
adult internship with Cintas kept on moving and successfully graduated from the
program. Our NexStep Alliance team kept busy, hosting a special drive-through
graduation ceremony to honor 56 graduates and opening a brand new campus,
bringing us to a total of four learning locations. In addition to these exciting
developments, we also launched a very special program, NexStep Unlocked,
helping Kansans exiting the justice system to gain education and employment in
order to successfully maintain their freedom.
This has been a challenging year for everyone. But we find inspiration every day in
those that we serve, and the good we’re able to share with our community. Our work
would not be possible without the strong and consistent support of our mission by
all who shop in our stores, donate, serve on our board and those who help keep our
organization running daily.

Meet PRINCESS
When Princess first came to Goodwill in
2018 she didn’t seem to have much interest
in working or even taking care of herself. In
fact, Princess preferred sleeping to interacting
with the staff and her peers.
But after some help from the Goodwill staff
to really find her niche, something in Princess
clicked on like a lightbulb. She found a love
for sorting socks and quickly became a pro
at the task, making each stack neater and
quicker than the last.
After finding a task she enjoyed doing, she
has been able to overcome her shyness and
open up around others, showing improvement
in her productivity and attention to detail.
Princess is quick to flash her ornery grin now
and won’t hesitate to joke around with you but
still gets her work done and keeps any drama
at bay. She takes pride in her appearance and
loves to have her hair and nails done, living up
to her name.
In the future, Princess hopes to gain a
community job and work towards an
independent living situation. With help from
the Goodwill staff, there’s no doubt Princess
can achieve anything she puts her mind to.

Meet BARAKA
By the age of 20, Baraka had faced more difficulties than
many will see in their lifetime. After war broke out and
claimed some of his family in his birthplace, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, he and his remaining
family members migrated to Uganda. Though life was not
favorable there, his parents worked hard to provide for
Baraka and his siblings and always stressed the importance
of education by making sure he attended school.
In 2013, they were selected for a resettlement program
but in 2014 at the age of 20, Baraka lost his father.
Nonetheless, Baraka continued on in hopes of gaining
a better life for himself.
By 2016, Baraka was resettled in the U.S., in Wichita,
KS. Upon arrival, he was welcomed by the International
Rescue Committee and was able to get in touch with
other families he knew to make him feel at home here.
During the next few years, Baraka worked various jobs
around town and by 2018 he and his girlfriend welcomed
their first child into the world. The community and care
they found within their church helped guide Baraka down
the path to get his GED and gain a career that would help
him provide for his growing family.
Through Workforce of South Central Kansas, Baraka
found and joined the NexStep Alliance program and
excelled in everything he set out to achieve, from
becoming Microsoft Office certified, to gaining his
certificate in Composite Fabrication through WSU
Tech while also completing his GED.
While 2020 took Baraka’s career down a different path,
he and his wife wed this year and now have two healthy
children. In addition, they will also become homeowners
this year through Habitat for Humanity.

MOMENTS OF good
Though we couldn’t hold our usual
big graduation celebration, we held
a fun, drive-through ceremony in
our parking lot for this year’s 56
graduating students. Graduates
received their cap and tassle,
certificate and some other fun
surprises, with a few photo-ops
along the way.
To help with an increased
need for masks in local
hospitals, our sewing
department got to work
making 5,000 masks for
Ascension Via Christi to
purchase in May, and have
continued to produce more
for other organizations since.
In September we officially opened
our fourth NexStep Alliance
campus on Harry Street, allowing
us to serve even more of our
community. The new campus was
furnished by the Bank of America
Neighborhood Champions Grant.
We had a small but mighty
group of three Project
SEARCH graduates who
learned valuable skills in
their internship with Cintas,
and also played a big role
in helping the company
implement sanitation and
safety protocols.

Meet MATTHEW
Matthew’s struggles with mental illness seemed
like a constant uphill battle. It affected every aspect
of his life, from his job and family to his physical
health. But upon getting involved with vocational
rehabilitation and being referred to Goodwill’s
Community Employment Program, the battle he
fought for so long started to become a battle
he was winning.
He began working with a job coach who helped him
see that he had plenty of skills to get any number of
jobs and they worked together to find one that was
the perfect fit.
That process took some time - almost a year and
half, but he finally found a position he could thrive
in. Matthew was hired as the Front Desk Night
Auditor at Best Western in 2017.
Since starting this job he has been able to slowly
gain his confidence back and become successful in
working towards a better and more stable life for himself.
No matter the challenge, Matthew keeps a positive
attitude and his eye for detail helps him close the books on
each day without mistakes. He has received awards for his
customer service and regular customers know and greet
him by name. Matthew has also reached corporate goals
for helping customers become rewards members.
In finding stability in his life through work, Matthew
can now focus on his future goals - to become the Front
Desk Manager at Best Western and to build a strong
relationship with his children.
