David's Success Story
David was homeless and unemployed for years. Drug and alcohol addiction led to his eventual arrest, but after a short stay in jail, David decided it was time for a change. After months of recovery meetings, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation referred David to Goodwill to begin training for employment. Today, David is employed as a materials handler and has purchased and begun renovating a home. “Goodwill showed me how to have a better life. They don’t hand anything to you. They give you the opportunity to choose a better life for yourself.”
