everything we do to ensure continuous improvement. We simplified and streamlined where possible, and our organization continues to strengthen functions that are essential to a successful future.

We are examining how our communities currently view Goodwill and how we want them to regard us going forward. Importantly, we’re considering how to leverage Goodwill’s expertise with potential community partners whose own strengths could help advance our mission.

You might think you know Goodwill, but we hope our work in 2015 and beyond will inspire you to see us differently. Goodwill intends to move the needle on big issues like chronic poverty, workforce development, and education. Thank you for your ongoing and unwavering support of our efforts throughout the Commonwealth!

Warmly,

Amy Luttrell President & CEO

A GLANCE GOODWILL AWARDED $1.1 MILLION GRANT TO SERVE 54 COUNTIES

I

n August 2015, Goodwill was awarded a federal Work Incentive Planning and Assistance (WIPA) grant to provide employment counseling and support to 300 beneficiaries of the Social Security Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) programs in 54 Kentucky counties.

Renewable for four additional years and worth a total of $1.1 million, the grant will allow Goodwill to hire four employees who will undergo comprehensive training to become certified Community Work Incentives Coordinators.

“Thousands of Kentuckians come to Goodwill for employment assistance every year,” said Elodie Dickinson, Lexington-area program services manager for Goodwill. “We have a long history of successfully placing

beneficiaries of SSI and SSDI into jobs, and we are excited for this opportunity to reach even more people who need a hand up in reaching their employment goals.”

Outreach efforts will be made to SSI and SSDI beneficiaries aged 14 and older in northern, eastern, and southern Kentucky. Goodwill plans to collaborate with school systems, nonprofit organizations serving people with disabilities, and state and local government, including the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government.

Goodwill implemented the WIPA program early in its 2016 fiscal year—which began October 1—and plans to operate through July 31, 2020.

GOODWILL RAISES MORE THAN $45,000 FOR CARS TO WORK PROGRAM

I

n September 2015, Goodwill raised more than $45,000 at its Gala for Good, presented by PNC Bank. The event benefited the Goodwill Cars to Work program, which helps Kentuckians purchase affordable, reliable vehicles to get to and from work. Generous financial support in the form of sponsorships, table sales, individual ticket sales, and financial gifts was provided by corporations, foundations, and individuals.

Dick Swope, retired president/CEO of Sam Swope Auto Group, LLC, received Goodwill’s first-ever Drive Award in recognition of his support for the program.

With his assistance, Goodwill successfully advocated for legislation that granted the organization a nonprofit auto dealer license in 2010.

“Dick Swope’s early support of Cars to Work enabled us to make the right connections in the auto industry to help launch the program,” said Amy Luttrell, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Kentucky. “Dick saw many hard-working people who were turned down for loans because of their life circumstances, and Cars to Work was a way to help. We are grateful for his support, which addresses a major barrier to employment—lack of transportation.”

Between October 2012 and October 2015, Goodwill placed 239 low-income families with vehicles.

GOODWILL LAUNCHES BLUEGRASS SCHOLARS PROGRAM TO SUPPORT FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS Bluegrass Scholars participants must be first-generation college students, enrolled in at least nine credit hours, attend a Lexington BCTC campus, and qualify for financial aid.

Participants receive one-on-one mentoring to promote full use of existing BCTC and Goodwill services.

Goodwill also provides individual goal development, resource referrals, job seeking and employment services, and incentives for full participation in the program and meeting milestones.

I

n fall 2014, Goodwill launched a partnership with Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) to pilot the Bluegrass Scholars program, providing support for eight students as they set and achieve academic and employment goals.

KENTUCKY’S GOODWILL OPENS 64TH LOCATION

G

oodwill opened its 64th store, located in Mt. Washington, in December 2014.

The new location joins Goodwill’s other operations in Bullitt County, including a donation center and retail store in Shepherdsville and the Kentucky Youth Career Center, which provides education support and workforce development services for out-of-school youth, ages 16-24.

The Bluegrass Scholars program offers students the opportunity to develop skills in leadership and personal development, while assisting them with academic growth and ultimately, employability.

EMPLOYEES AWARDED FIRST-EVER BLAHNIK SCHOLARSHIPS

A

t Goodwill’s annual awards luncheon in March 2015, three Goodwill employees were awarded the first-ever Roland R. Blahnik Scholarship, established in 2014 and bearing the name of Goodwill’s recently retired president and CEO who served for 30 years.

Funds are awarded to full- or part-time Goodwill employees who are pursuing higher education.

A committee of Goodwill board members reviewed applications to determine the scholarship recipients, and each awardee received $1,500 towards educationrelated expenses.

ABOUT THE RECIPIENTS: Cody Avery is an employee at Goodwill’s Elizabethtown store. He attends Elizabethtown Community & Technical College and is working towards an associate’s degree in sociology. Cody aspires to be a writer and hopes to advance within Goodwill, someday manage a store of his own, and move towards upper management.

Mary Simmons is a workforce development technician for the Power of Work program in Louisville. She is working towards a master’s degree in organization leadership and management at Spalding University.

Mary hopes to obtain a management position or use her instructor certification as an employment or career services trainer.

Qiana Young also works for the Power of Work program in Louisville. She is pursuing an associate’s degree in human services at Jefferson Community & Technical College and expects to graduate in May 2016.

WILLIAM

W

illiam was incarcerated in 1988, and for 26 years, he prayed for a second chance. He swore to himself that if he was ever released, he’d be a better man. In 2008, William attended a pre-release program where he met Sharrieffa Blair, employment specialist at Goodwill Industries of Kentucky.

Sharrieffa’s trademark slogan, “If you want to barbeque, come see me. If you want to mildew, don’t waste my time,” resonated with William.

“I saw the look in her eyes,” William said. “She was serious.”

When William was released from prison in 2014, he didn’t have a home, job, or driver’s license. His only priority was finding Sharrieffa. William asked a friend to drive him from eastern Kentucky to Lexington, and they stopped at the first Goodwill location they could find. Miraculously, it was the office where Sharrieffa works.

With confidence, William walked into Sharrieffa’s office and said, “I’m ready to barbeque.”

“When he first came to me, I saw the look in his eyes,” Sharrieffa said. “He was ready.”

Together, William and Sharrieffa set numerous goals, the first of which was to find employment.

Because Goodwill has strong partnerships with employers in the community, Sharrieffa was able to refer William for a job. “I would never refer someone I didn’t believe in, because they are branded with Goodwill’s name,” Sharrieffa said.

“But I trusted William with my life.”

One week after his release, William was employed. Humbled to have been given a chance, William worked hard to become a valuable asset for his employer and quickly proved his worth.

His supervisor said, “I wish I could clone William to have four or five employees that work as hard as he does.”

In the following months, William found a place to live, opened a savings account, received his driver’s license, and purchased a vehicle from the Goodwill Cars to Work® program.

Having a vehicle has allowed William to work more flexible hours, reconnect with society by attending church and community service events, and, most importantly, visit the doctor. As a diabetic, William relies on regular checkups to stay healthy.

Establishing credit was one of William’s greatest concerns, and he asked Sharrieffa to help him set up automatic payments for his bills. To date, William has not been late on a car payment.

Automatic bill pay was just one new thing William had to learn as he adjusted to life outside of prison. Between advancements in technology and the passing of his parents, William compared his transition into society after 26 years of incarceration with being dropped off on a deserted island.

“If Goodwill didn’t exist, I’d probably be back in prison,” he said. “They taught me how to start over.

I am very blessed.”

KENTUCKIANS INTO JOBS.

LOUISVILLE, KY

JASON

F

or 15 years, Jason was, in his words, a “functioning drug addict.” Able to maintain a successful career in construction, he didn’t consider his addiction a problem until drugs made his life unmanageable.

“Eventually, I crossed a line,” he explained. “For years, I was using drugs for fun, but then I began taking them to survive.”

With substance abuse controlling his life, Jason made decisions that resulted in a three-year prison sentence.

After his release, he was placed at Community Transitional Services, a drug treatment center in Louisville, for six months before relocating to a local sober living home. There, he remained clean for an additional eight months.

Jason regularly searched for employment opportunities but was unsuccessful with a felony on his record.

“I was a hopeless drug addict who detoxed on a jail floor,” Jason said. “I was scared. I wasn’t functional.

I had no confidence. I knew I needed to get a job, but I didn’t know how to ask for help.”

In March 2014, Jason saw a flyer at his sober living home for Reentry by Design*, a program that offers employment services to individuals transitioning from the justice system to the workforce. Upon entering the program, Jason was introduced to Tom Saylor, employment specialist for Goodwill.

“When I first met Tom, I was immediately comfortable,” Jason said. “Tom was concerned for me.

He was relatable; he knew why I was there and how to help.”

When Jason entered the program, he described himself as “hopeless.” Tom agreed, adding, “I’ve never seen someone’s confidence so low.” Regardless, Jason was a model participant. He was consistently prompt and a meticulous note-taker.

“When most people come into the program, there is a sense of urgency. They want to find a job,” Tom explained. “Jason’s case was a little different. Because of his anxiety and lack of confidence, he knew he wasn’t ready for employment.”

Jason remained in the program for six months, working on confidence building, mock interviewing, and job searching. Before Jason completed the program, Tom set up an interview for him with Packers Sanitation Services, Inc. (PSSI). Jason was immediately hired and began working that very night.

After only one month at PSSI, Jason was promoted to a training position. One year later, he was promoted to a team lead, training four employees at a time.

Jason was recently offered a supervisory position but temporarily declined until he stabilizes his current team.

“Tom is the reason I have a job,” Jason said.

Tom’s reply? “I may have opened the door for him, but he walked through it.” *Funding for the Reentry by Design program is provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, through the Kentucky Department of Corrections, and is an initiative of KentuckianaWorks and operated by Goodwill Industries of Kentucky.
