Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest fosters the involvement of staff in
organizations and activities in the communities we serve, furthering
contributing to the well being and connectedness of their citizens.

 

• Goodwill is an active member of local Chambers of Commerce, participating in events, issues, and committees.
   

• Professional organizations provide opportunities for staff to gain additional knowledge and tools.  Goodwill is represented in such organizations as The National Human Resource Management Association, the Public Relations Society of America/Spokane Public Relations Council, the National Rehabilitation Association, the National Purchasing Management Association, and the Inland Northwest Development Council.
   

• Goodwill staff engage in activities and programs with local school districts and colleges throughout the region.
   

• Partnerships with businesses benefit our communities through donation drives and training and employment opportunities for participants in Goodwill’s programs.
   

• In cooperation with many public and private agencies, Goodwill also enhances opportunities for participants to build independence.  Individuals facing barriers such as ex-offender status or dependence on public assistance may receive a helping hand to self-sufficiency.
   

• Goodwill partners with other nonprofits, such as food banks and senior centers, in civic events and special projects such as community Thanksgiving dinners.
  
   

As Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest continues to expand services and the number of people we serve, we continually seek ways to better our communities through our contributions to activities that further our mission.
