Dear Friends of Goodwill:

M

any great things are said about our Goodwill and the Mission we have been living daily for the last 50 years: dedicated to helping people with disabilities or barriers achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. It is heartwarming and rewarding to hear our partners, stakeholders, families and local communities we serve share their stories and thoughts on Goodwill as we formally celebrated our 50th Anniversary, June 2018.

Employment & Career Services are provided in the communities of Columbus, Grand Island, Hastings, Kearney, Lexington, McCook and North Platte.

Employment and Career Services helps job seekers find employment that matches their strengths and interests, and provides ongoing support for continued success.

Last year we served 123 individuals in our structured programming in our Developmental Disabilities Services in the tri-cities.

Developmental Disability Services provides training and support to help people gain skills, build on their strengths, achieve their goals, access their community, and achieve greater independence.

We have locations in Grand Island and Columbus providing Behavioral Health Services.

Behavioral Health Services provides support to people in the recovery process, helping them to create a recovery plan, embrace hope, receive mental and physical health care, build skills, and successfully live in their communities.

While a lot has changed about Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska over the past 50 years, what has not changed is our mission to help people improve their quality of life. In 2018, 2,000 plus people found their way to overcome their barriers-and our staff has had the pleasure to be a part of that journey finding their definition of success.

We made 56 public presentations reaching over 3,000 people in 2018 to share the Goodwill story and we welcome any venue to keep spreading the good word of the many services we can provide! Even after 50 years our challenge and true opportunity is to respond to the words we hear on a regular basis - I DIDN’T KNOW GOODWILL DID THAT ....

We extend our sincere appreciation for your continued support of Goodwill.
