Spent a few days with our retail team in our Scottsbluff store prepping for a remodel and expansion. Love how the space will look once we complete the new flooring and paint scheme. We are going to operate out of our 3,000 Sq ft expansion for a few weeks while the main footprint undergoes its transformation. Couldn't be more thankful for a great team who are always pushing ahead and keeping people at the center of what we do!

After 19 weeks of learning, engagement, & collaborating -Cohort 4 of Goodwill Industries International 's Opportunity Accelerator Fellowship Learning Pathway came to a close early Nov. It was a great opportunity to lean in on the framework we use. Goodwill's Opportunity Accelerator is a 3 step approach- 1. Assess 2. Equip 3. Launch to get individuals to their desired destination faster with fully wrapped around support & services. The next several months we will spend in our groups on our capstone and putting to work the insight we gained and advocating throughout the network. While it was definitely a balance- the 19 weeks flew by and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn & collaborate with colleagues from Canada to various parts of the US :-)
The Grand Island Behavioral Health Team worked together Saturday, November 18th delivering Thanksgiving Baskets to individuals we serve to their residence. This gives the Individuals the opportunity to enjoy a festive meal without the fears of going hungry or not having a Thanksgiving meal. This brings joy to our individuals, in our community, this Holiday season 😊.
This week at Goodwill Connect in Long Beach, CA provided yet another amazing opportunity for our leadership team to connect and enhance their knowledge. We are appreciative of the chance that Goodwill International offers its leaders to sharpen their skills and build professional relationships with their colleagues!
