Powering possibilities across the Fox Valley and Bay Area
When you donate and shop at Goodwill North Central Wisconsin, you’re powering what’s possible for individuals in our local communities across the Fox Valley and Bay Area as they build job skills to sustain employment and improve their financial stability.
The Power of You & Goodwill NCW in Our Communities
When you donate
You’re not just buying new clothes; you’re unlocking your inner fashionista and a style that’s all your own.
On average, 90 cents of every dollar in sales is reinvested back into our mission of Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment.
When you shop secondhand
You’re not just clearing out clutter; you’re making room for the things you TRULY love.
The average donation creates about three hours of job training through Goodwill NCW Employment Services.
When you donate and shop, it means you’re powering possibilities for individuals with employment barriers in the Fox Valley and Bay Area.
Meet Alexa – Achieving Sustained Employment and Increasing Financial Stability
Alexa came to Goodwill NCW with limited prior employment experience and skill development. She demonstrated a strong preference for structure and routine and benefited from support in developing workplace confidence and independence.
After receiving employment services from Goodwill, Alexa was permanently hired as a cleaner at Planet Fitness and recently celebrated her 10-year work anniversary with the company. Over the years, she has continued to build her skill set by learning new tasks, gaining confidence, and strengthening her ability to communicate with others and ask for help when needed. Alexa has also become more flexible in her routines, successfully adapting to changes such as learning new responsibilities when the treadmills were downsized. She currently earns a competitive wage and receives annual raises.
Meet Kevin: Overcoming Barriers to Employment
Kevin came to Goodwill through an internship opportunity after retiring from 41 years of farming . Due to a physical disability, Kevin faced challenges finding employment, but with the support of external job placement services, he found a role in our hardlines department as a ticketer Green Bay West Goodwill Store.
It didn’t take long for Kevin to become proficient in his role. Upon successfully completing his internship, Kevin was hired as a part-time Production Specialist. This opportunity has provided him with sustainable employment and income, while also improving his quality of life by giving him renewed purpose and fulfillment.
“Kevin is an integral part of our team,” Store Team Leader Daniel states. “His dependability, attention to detail, and work ethic was a natural fit for Goodwill NCW.”
