Give it to Goodwill and Give Purpose

Why do YOU give to Goodwill?

During this “Season of Giving”, when you give to Goodwill, you give purpose to people like Keri. 

Keri has autism, and communication was not always her strong suit. When she began working at the Donation Express Center, it was her first real job. She lacked confidence, particularly about interacting with donors. 

Slowly but surely, her confidence grew. She became more adept at grasping verbal cues and body language. Now Keri has learned about responsibility, teamwork and the value of a paycheck.

To learn more about Keri’s story and learn how your donations give dignity, hope, and confidence through Goodwill’s mission of changing lives through education, training and employment, go here » https://giveit2goodwill.org/why/
