Review for Discover Goodwill of Southern and Western Colorado, Colorado Springs, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a donor, a shopper, and a member of the Board of Directors. My first expereinces of Goodwill came from the staff and employees at one of the stores, as well as those working the donor areas. They were friendly and enthusiastic. As a fairly recetn board member I can see how the values of Goodwill come from the very highest levels of leadership. I have never seen a more professional and competent leadership team in any of the many organizations I have been a part of over the years. I am aslo a pastor and at least one of my members works at Goodwill. This is truly a gift to him and those relying on him, as well as a gift to the community. As teh needs grow greater in our communities beset by financial cutbacks, Goodwill leads the way in its area of mission.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Contact with the people served, by getting to know its amazing leadereship, and by shopping at their stores.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The termendous vision of the leaders, the clarity of its mission, its collaborative style, but above all the I have enjoyed seeing the lives changed from the work of Goodwill.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Amazing! The best non-profit leadership I have ever seen, and this energy finds its way throughout the agency.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Increase the numnber of folks, particualry the folks with mental issues, who find meaning and purpose in their lives through work and education. They could increase the number of families helped with special needs members.
