Success Stories

Keonea came to Goodwill to complete Community and Facility-Based Work Adjustment classes and never left! Upon completing her class curriculum, taught by Jean Mansfield, Keonea was hired as a part time Retail Associate at our Virginia Avenue store.

If you've been to our Barboursville store or visited his ice cream truck, you know our buddy Jacob! Jacob truly doesn't know a stranger. Between running his ice cream truck in the warmer months to working in our Barboursville store, he keeps a pretty busy schedule. He is SUPER social and L O V E S talking with customers to make sure they feel right at home.

Jack works in our Lavalette retail store as part of our school-to-work program, but Jack also has a pretty cool business on his own. Jack runs his business, Jack & the Bean, which offers hot and iced coffee and other delicious drinks. However, if you ask Jack, he says working at Goodwill is his favorite job.
