2009 Selected Outcomes
Mission-based services to were provided to 852 individuals. The primary focus of Goodwill's program is to assist people in obtaining and maintaining employment. Although the recession and climbing unemployment rates in our local communities have made finding and keeping a job more challenging; on average, our clients were placed in 30 hour a week jobs that pay $7.95 an hour last year.

Another key element of program success is satisfaction with our program services.
