In turn, those jobs gave individuals and families who were struggling, a real chance to build stable lives and become actively engaged in their community. e Goodwill model remains today: donated goods collected, sorted, categorized and sold – creating jobs at each stage in the process and extending the useful life of goods that would otherwise go to landfills. At the core of his thinking was the unstated imperative that nothing goes to waste: not a shirt, not a shoe and certainly, not a person. Today, we not only create training opportunities and jobs within Goodwill, we work with local businesses to build their own workforce. As an employer of more than 1,900 people and a social service provider, we have a unique perspec- tive that can help other employers find and keep reliable employees. Our goals reflect Goodwill's early path: to impact people's ability to work; to be prudent, but generous; and to sustain the earth.
