When you purchase them with us, they support our community programs like the 988/211 Hotlines, Goodwill Vision Enterprises, Good Neighbor Program and so much more. Come grab your spooky items while they’re still in stock! Check your local store for availability. https://lnkd.in/eYCEXjcg

Throughout September, Goodwill® is celebrating National Workforce Development Month. ⚒️ Workforce Development Month was created in 2005 by the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) to raise awareness about the importance of our industry to a growing national economy. The month celebrates the contributions of workforce professionals and highlights events and initiatives that support job seekers and employers. At a time when millions of people are looking for work, Goodwill is working to help people in our local community obtain the needed job skills and training to secure employment, obtain self-sufficiency and experience upward economic mobility. Join us in celebrating National Workforce Development Month and all the great initiatives that are stemmed from it. 🎉 #NationalWorkforceDevelopmentMonth #goodwill #thrift #RochesterNY #SyracuseNY #FingerLakes

Our 2024 Sustainability Under the Stars event was one for the books. 🎉 We are so thankful for all the support - the guests, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, models, designers, staff and everyone in between who helped to create an amazing environment in support of Goodwill's mission of community. We are especially thankful for Samra Brouk for presenting Goodwill of the Finger Lakes with a proclamation for the sustainability programs and services we’ve worked hard on throughout the years. We can't wait to share the results from the event and the impact this will have on future initiatives. Stay tuned for more! #Goodwill #SUTS #SustainabilityUnderTheStars #Community #RochesterNY #FingerLakes

Incredible humans keep us going. 🩵 We'd like to shoutout a very special one to us: Sue DiPiazza. 🌟 Sue is one of our employees who was presented with a proclamation by The County Executive team last month, to honor her long service to Goodwill of the Finger Lakes and celebrate her well-deserved retirement. Sue was featured at our gala this year, and she shared her story of being brought to Goodwill as a client of 2-1-1 while going through a rough time. Goodwill was able to help her via that connection, and she joined our staff and chose to dedicate her career to helping do for others what Goodwill had done for her. She is now retiring this month. 👏 Let's give it up for Sue! 🫂 #goodwill #thrift #RochesterNY #SyracuseNY #FingerLakes

Recently, our President & CEO Jen Lake attended a Sustainability Summit with other leaders to help spark some change. 🔌♻️ Goodwill Industries International brought together leaders, researchers and organizations to announce the results of a two-year sustainability research project, aimed at giving unsellable textile donations a new life. They also announced the plan for a NEW traceability study, which will further inform reuse and recycle strategies for the future. Sustainability efforts are crucial in 2024 and we're proud to be making an impact.
