A week of celebrating our mission

 

A

t Goodwill, we believe work has the power to change lives! Work plays a critical role in the ability of individuals to achieve desirable life outcomes; providing self-esteem, independence, empowerment, and pride.

May 1-7 commemorates Goodwill Industries Week, an annual celebration of our mission of helping people train for, find, and keep good jobs. Observed since 1951, Goodwill Industries Week across the United States and Canada celebrate the power of work through local events and promotions.

Goodwill Industries of West Michigan is celebrating with 50% off sale at all 16 of our store locations with in-store prizes and online Facebook contests all week long. It’s our way of saying “thank you” to our generous shoppers and donors who support our mission with their patronage.

To assist jobseekers in our community, GoodTemps will be hosting a job fair at our Career Center at 271 East Apple Avenue in Muskegon on Thursday, May 5 from 10 a.m. until noon. To qualify for current open positions, please bring two forms of ID and an update résumé.

Thank you for your support. Together we are creating jobs and changing lives in our community!
