Founded in Louisville, KY in 1923, Goodwill has 66 retail stores throughout the state that provide opportunities for hands-on experience in customer service, cashiering, time management, and production/processing. Donations of clothing and household items are the fuel that keeps Goodwill's engine running; they generate revenue to support our 11 Opportunity Centers around the state, to support job preparation, training, and placement programs for people who face barriers to finding and maintaining employment.

As a teenager, Shae and her siblings were placed into foster care. When Shae turned 18, she transitioned to “independent housing,” and her social worker encouraged her to obtain full-time employment instead of finishing high school. Years later, and now a mother of three, Shae is committed to earning her GED. Through a partnership with BCTC, Shae takes classes three times per week at our Opportunity Center in Lexington. “I tried to get my GED before, but I had two jobs while trying to go to class. It was becoming too much at one time. I tried online classes, but I realized I learn better in front of a teacher,” she explained. “This is important to me, because I am showing my kids that you can accomplish difficult things.” After obtaining her GED, Shae plans to study nursing, with the ultimate goal of being an RN. “Goodwill helped me a lot, even when I didn’t necessarily want to ask for help,” she said. “I have seen Goodwill help others, not just me. They offer great services and have amazing opportunities for people.”

Tomorrow isn’t just another Tuesday – it’s Goodwill Giving Day! Last October, 40 Goodwillers at the Louisville Opportunity Centers worked together to earn 293 donations totaling more than $23,000! This year, we are taking it statewide. Tomorrow, nearly 100 volunteers at 11 Opportunity Centers from Pikeville to Paducah will be spreading the word and raising funds. Every dollar raised by each Center stays local, supporting essential programs and services that can help change the lives of your neighbors. You can donate to YOUR local Opportunity Center here: https://lnkd.in/eZTDSZ6z

"I was in a really bad spot when I got the job. At first, it was just a job. But then I started meeting people and seeing how [Goodwill] was affecting them and what we were doing to change their lives. As I was helping to change them, it was changing me." Tami Phelps, Senior Store Manager, has been with Goodwill for eight years and she shares why she plans to participate in our upcoming Giving Day on October 1.
