Don't believe all the hype of Goodwill helping people because they don't. I was unemployed for three and half years and heard of the training program through my local library. I was accepted into the Medical Office training program and I cried thinking that Goodwill was an answer to my prayers. During the eight week program we were told by teachers and staff that "once you are a client you are a client for life" and "Goodwill will never abandon you." We were promised job assistance and referals to places such as Dress For Succes after graduation. Soon after graduation, we received an email that the job coordinator quit and we never heard from Goodwill again. Tried phone calls and emails with no response.

I don't know how you can take people who are desperate and down on their luck onto service and then completely dismiss them like a piece of garbage. The women I took classes with had to rearrange their work schedules, take multiple buses, find child care, etc. while we had eight weeks of our lives wasted, were completely abandoned and told a bunch of lies. So don't be donating or giving money to Goodwill because they are not helping people. Shame on you Goodwill!
