Whether it’s the clerk at our retail store, the donation attendant at our donation trailer, the processor at our warehouse or the truck driver transporting material donations to our headquarters, each position is a job created to put more North Texas residents back to work.
Need
For many years, Goodwill has placed donation trailers on the parking lots of commercial businesses, at no cost. As areas develop and grow, these donated sites are becoming obsolete.
Solution
Innovate, Sustain and Grow, expanding into areas north and east of central Dallas. Goodwill responded by creating Three in Ones, consisting of a valet donation center, retail store and Job Connection Center, to create more jobs and employ more people.
“Don’t limit me.”
Raising a child with a disability isn’t easy. It takes many phone calls with schools, meetings with teachers, and even now, as our child is an adult, it still takes extra supervision, sensitivity and patience.
Goodwill Dallas does not see Angelica for her disability. Hired by Goodwill over eight years ago, Angelica has the opportunity to get up and go to work.
Funding for capital projects relies on philanthropy. Gifts to the Mission Advancement Campaign now stand at $6.3 million and have provided over 605 jobs through the opening of five new facilities in Dallas, Garland, Lewisville, Plano and Allen. These donors have enhanced our community through their ability, dedication and service to our mission.
“We want shoppers who come to our stores to realize that when they make a purchase at Goodwill, they’re not only getting a ‘Goodwill original’ at an outstanding price, but they are helping to transform lives with each purchase,” Ashleigh Hughes, Vice President of Development and Marketing said.
All cumulative donations exceeding $10,000 receive recognition through the Mission Advancement Society, a special major donor recognition acknowledgment space located prominently within and throughout Goodwill Dallas.
