9. One Story
“When I came to Goodwill in August
2007 I was on parole, homeless, and
hardly involved with my two children. I
was like a part-time father that wandered
in and out of their lives.
I did Goodwill's training program while
working in the warehouse. Now my
finances are in order, I'm off of
parole, and I can provide for my sons the
right way. I can be a positive role model
for them.”
-- M Solomon, Client served in
Gooodwill’s Job Training Program

13. Spend 10B on Humanitarian
Assistance every year
“You’ve got a million people
who have been living in tents
for a year. Does anybody
know what they need, what
they think, what their
problems are? You need to
include them in the
conversation. Otherwise you’re
blindly wandering around
assuming you know the right
answers.”
