Jack

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. His supervisor, Tucker, says that Jack is an amazing worker and wishes all of his employees, and even himself, had the strong work ethic Jack has. He enjoys pulling clothing off the racks that will be recycled and has made great improvements with customer interaction since he started.
