Why Supporting Goodwill is So Important – Goodwill Teams Up
Goodwill’s Galesburg Store Teams Up to Provide Jobs
Social service agencies are at their best when they work together. That’s the story behind Goodwill’s Galesburg store and Thrive Community Services.
Thrive helps “individuals identify the best work environments based upon one’s gifts, strengths, and interests that align with an employer’s needs and desires.”
Jenn Fox, our community-minded Galesburg Store Manager, was looking for employees and partnered with the agency. The results were Matt and Amanda. Both learned not only how to work in the store, but most importantly how to interact with others. From customers to fellow employees, Matt and Amanda have grown immensely. Amanda has even become proficient at the register and excels in that position.
Serving the community is a cornerstone of what Goodwill does and our Galesburg location is a great example. Working with Thrive has brought us new employees and serves as a reminder why it is so important to shop and donate.
