Meet Lori
Lori recently celebrated her 20-year anniversary with Goodwill NCW and shows no signs of slowing down.
Before coming to Goodwill NCW, Lori had only experienced a sheltered workshop environment, which employs people with disabilities separately from others. At the Eau Claire Goodwill store, Lori works among the team where she has learned critical job skills, like having spatial awareness. Her fellow team members look forward to welcoming her when she arrives.
“Lori never passes up an opportunity to say ‘hi’ with her smile. Her trademark smile, upbeat attitude and strong work ethic bring a sense of family to the team,” Tim Wavrunek, Senior Manager said.
