Goodwill Starts with You!
Your

matters!
Your purchases and donations stay local and support individuals served by Goodwill NCW as they build job skills to sustain employment and improve their financial stability.
Every purchase provides pathways. Goodwill NCW reinvests an average of 90 cents of every dollar in store sales back into the mission to provide life-changing impact to individuals with barriers to employment.
Every donation builds job skills. The average donation creates nearly three hours of job training through Goodwill NCW mission programs to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential.
Every partnership creates opportunities. Goodwill NCW partners with more than 120 nonprofits across north central Wisconsin to transform lives through the power of work.

Meet Wendie
When Wendie first started training at Goodwill NCW, she lacked confidence, was very reserved and needed to work on her communication skills. Goodwill NCW Job Coaches and leaders worked alongside Wendie to help her build skills through hands-on experience.
In fall 2023, Wendie was hired as a full-time team member on Goodwill NCW’s Ecommerce team. She says her love for her fellow team members has helped her sustain employment because she looks forward to coming to work every day.
“I am proud of how I’ve been able to stay positive and develop several friendships with other team members,” Wendie said. “I’m also proud of the number of tasks I was able to learn and successfully complete.”
Meet Frank
Frank started working at the Green Bay East Goodwill store through a job-skills training program. When he first started, he had a lot of anxiety about whether he would be able to keep up with the jobs he was assigned.
Frank’s store leaders and other team members helped him overcome his fears. He learned to pace his work so that he would not get overwhelmed, and he gained the confidence to learn many different job duties throughout the store. In July 2023, Frank was hired as a team member.
Frank says that loves his job and his leaders encourage him to be the best he can be.
“He is always friendly and encouraging to his team. He is also willing to do whatever is asked of him,” Becka Martilla, Store Team Leader said.
