Dear friends of Goodwill, It is amazing what is possible when people come together for a common purpose. The individuals featured in this year’s annual report are shining testaments to the importance of the work we collectively do. Thanks to the support of the community – from donors of merchandise and shoppers – to financial contributors, employers and corporate partners – we help change thousands of lives. This past year has been one of great growth and exciting change. As you can see, we have a new name – Goodwill of the Olympics and Rainier Region – which reflects the wide-ranging area we serve in Western and Central Washington. Of course our headquarters remains in Tacoma and we proudly honor the long history of our organization’s deep roots in the Tacoma/Pierce County region.
Terry Hayes President & CEO
Growing mission services was again front and center in 2013. Our job training and educational services reached nearly 9,000 individuals throughout our territory. Most importantly, the number of people we helped place into jobs in the community increased by 40% – with nearly 2,700 people gaining employment. Of course, people can only go back to work if there are organizations willing to hire them. This past year, we partnered with over 1,000 businesses for job placement. We work hard to make sure we prepare the people that come to us for training with the specific skills employers require in today’s competitive marketplace. Partnerships also fueled our growth in a most important area – serving our returning military veterans. The Walmart Foundation extended their support to Operation: GoodJobs and were joined by generous gifts from Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Boeing, Wounded Warriors Project and Starbucks. We were so honored to be chosen by Starbucks to be the non-profit partner for their Community Store in Lakewood. The business engine that drives the growth of our mission, our retail operation, enjoyed a very successful year as we opened four new stores, including our first ever boutique, known as blue. We also opened a new outlet store in Kent and relocated our outlet store in Tacoma to the space adjacent to our operations center for extra efficiency and service for our customers.
Chad Wright 2013 Board Chair
It was a great year, but there is much work to do. Unemployment in our 15-county region remains a challenge and though we are making a strong contribution to reducing that number, we have a long way to go. That’s why your support remains so critical. Together, we can do even more to get as many people as we can back to work in the coming years. Thank you for making it possible!
A COMMITMENT TO CHANGE LEADS YOUTH TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE AJ ARCHER now holds a full time job at Concrete Tech, molding rebar to create pre-casted skeletons for concrete structures, and working toward supervisory and management positions in the company. Only five years before he was lost - a youth on the streets dealing drugs. His newborn son and a case worker at Goodwill’s YouthBuild program ended up saving his life. “I was always in trouble, basically living a life that my mom didn’t want me to do.” His lifestyle landed him jail time and a felony conviction. AJ thought the door had slammed shut on his future. But he found Goodwill’s YouthBuild – an alternative school and construction training program – thanks to roommates who discovered the program while looking for work. It took AJ three times to commit to YouthBuild, due to failed drug tests. The persistence of YouthBuild staff paid off. “They asked, ‘is there any way we can help you out?’ I said yes and decided to reenter the program. But this time my mentality was – I have a child now, I can’t be on the streets, and it’s my son’s future and my future…I have to change my ways…” AJ was the first in his class to complete his GED, and he graduated from YouthBuild two months early. During the course he helped to rebuild a house in Tacoma. AJ also gave back, helping other students with their GED. “I like numbers, so I was able to show students another way from what the instructor was explaining. It helped them and helped me grow into what I am now – more open, less shy.” AJ now visits Goodwill frequently, bringing news about job openings at Concrete Tech and helping to teach some of the construction classes. “The value of this program is teaching reliability and responsibility. It teaches you to become an adult, and to have a plan. Thanks to the program I was able to put money away, get my own car, pay off my traffic tickets, and I feel more proud of myself. I’m accomplishing everything I set out to do.”
NEW CAREER BRINGS VETERAN A NEW LIFE Veteran PAT CARITHERS retired from the Navy in 1999 with a pension that could not pay the bills. Wanting a different job than her 20+ years of human resource work, she ventured into new waters. “I squeaked by working as a nanny, an auditor, typist, a housecleaner, but ultimately decided I deserved a better quality of life as a retired Navy Veteran,” said Pat. The State’s Employment Security Division alerted Pat to the job training available at Goodwill, and she attended the orientation, where she learned about the veterans program, Operation: GoodJobs and the Beyond Jobs program for women. “I knew about the stores and programs for persons with disabilities, but I was surprised to learn about programs for veterans and women! I have been referring people ever since.” The training programs and support services were just what Pat needed. “For me, the difference at Goodwill – beyond training programs - was the support from staff. Everybody was there for me, to give me help and make me confident while job searching.” At Goodwill Pat practiced interviews and discussed all the elements that go into making a strong impression with employers. “The staff really helped me stay positive and focused during that long stretch of job hunting, and sent me out the door to each job interview with confidence and a smile.” With the help of Goodwill Pat landed a job at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine in the Dean’s Office. Managing faculty appointments for the research facility staff, Pat also tackles a myriad of projects. “I have lots of benefits, and I can go to free classes,” said Pat. “This really is a great and interesting job!”
BUSINESS OWNER OVERCOMES HARDSHIPS TO FIND SUCCESS Seven years ago STEVE DAVIS was sitting on top of the world, owning his own woodworking business and doing contracting work installing surface countertops. But as he approached 50, his health took a turn for the worse. A bad hip caused mounting pain for Steve who had to cut back to part-time work, operating fork lifts. The work was day to day, and his family lived from paycheck to paycheck. Matters got worse in 2008, when Steve was hit with a heart valve infection. “I spent 13 days in an induced coma, and 30 days in the hospital – it was pretty bad.” More hardship followed in 2009 both of Steve’s hips gave out requiring replacement and his wife developed stage three breast cancer. “We wound up moving in with my wife’s sister because it was either that or living in the car.” Fortunately, both experienced full recovery but now Steve was 50, and faced re-entry into the workforce after a long absence. That’s when he heard about Goodwill’s Ticket to Work program. “The attitude of the people at Goodwill and Ticket to Work gave me that feeling that there was somebody there to help out so I wouldn’t have to do it all myself.” Steve took computer training to update his skills and received additional support from Goodwill’s staff. “They helped me with a decent pair of shoes for interviews, even gas for going back and forth to job interviews.” Steve landed a job at Coleman American, loading and unloading trucks. “The program allowed me to stay on disability for my first three months of work which helped us to get back on our feet.” Since 2010, Steve has gone from warehouseman to warehouse supervisor. This year he and his wife hope to buy a house, and the road ahead looks promising. “For guys like me who are over 50, switching jobs and getting back into the job market is really tough. Goodwill will stand behind you. They give you the confidence that you can make it…you only have to want it.”
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS HELP CHANGE LIVES
READY TO WORK BREAKFAST HONOREES
PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY
At our annual community event – The Goodwill Ready To Work Breakfast – we honored two extraordinary organizations that collaborated with Goodwill to provide critical community services this past year.
The synergy between Goodwill and people in our communities is the catalyst for providing more and more support for those who need it most. In 2013, individuals who value the importance of giving back, volunteered to serve at Goodwill in a broad spectrum of areas. People donated their time at our retail stores and operations center; in training programs such as computer skills and financial literacy and in our administrative offices. Total volunteer hours in 2013 by committed individuals topped 101,000. Goodwill also partnered with organizations by providing space and hospitality for company events at Goodwill’s Milgard Work Opportunity Center building. Over 1,500 people from 40 organizations accessed Goodwill community meeting rooms throughout the year. And once again, Goodwill employees showed their continued commitment to helping people in our community. In addition to volunteering at various local events throughout the year, employees contributed much needed food to families for Thanksgiving and helped support a variety of non-profits, including United Way, Red Cross and many others throughout the area via the annual Goodwill Employee Giving campaign.
CORPORATE ALLIANCE PROGRAM
In 2013, Goodwill established the Corporate Alliance program to recognize those businesses and organization which have made a significant investment in the programs and services that Goodwill offers to people with barriers to employment.
Fred Meyer, the Business Partner of the Year, helped expand Goodwill’s culinary program to meet the need of skilled artisans by developing a cake decorating program. They also hired multiple graduates from three major training programs – barista, retail and culinary.
The program includes partners that hire multiple Goodwill graduates, host Goodwill donation stations and drives, and provide significant financial gifts or sponsorships to help us put more people to work. Benefits of partnership can include logo recognition on Goodwill trailers and in print advertising, complimentary seats at Goodwill’s annual Ready to Work breakfast and invitations to VIP events throughout the year.

Goodwill’s Community Partner of the Year, the Walmart Foundation, helped us greatly expand services for veterans and women. Our veterans program, Operation: GoodJobs, has the founding support of the Walmart Foundation through Goodwill Industries International. This past year, Walmart recommitted additional funds to the program. Operation: GoodJobs provides a variety of services to empower military veterans with the tools they need to find employment, succeed in the workplace and permanently support their families.
THANK YOU EMPLOYERS Getting people to work is the ultimate goal of Goodwill. Of course, this is only possible with the partnership of local employers. In 2013, over 1,000 organizations hired Goodwill participants from a wide range of programs. Goodwill would like to recognize these partners that hired a significant number of people in 2013: ABM Janitorial Services Aerotek AIM Aerospace AlliedBarton Security Services Boeing Cadillac Island Casino Catholic Community Services -Tacoma Command Center Temp Service Concrete Technology Corp.

BUSINESS GROWTH FUELS JOB TRAINING SUPPORT Work continued in 2013 to grow business and serve more people in our 15 county region with job training and job placement programs. Expansion of new retail formats, revenues from recycling and record increases in “Go2” property management services allowed us to exceed our annual mission goals. Thanks to strong revenue, 1,000 business partnerships and improved training, 2,678 people were placed in jobs, up 40% from 2012. We also pushed the bar higher on job training and education, serving 8,923 people this year. Sequim and Spanaway and Halloween “Boo-Teeks” in all stores. Collectively, these enhancements drove 1.5 million shoppers to Goodwill’s 2 outlet, 29 retail and 2 boutique formats to find quality gently-used clothing, household items and special treasures.
RETAIL Store retail sales were up 6.5% on the heels of two new store openings – a new store for South Tacoma and a second high-end fashion and accessory blue boutique in Olympia. A remodeling of the Spanaway store and focus on customer service and “fashion forward” merchandising in other retail venues provided a step up from traditional thrift retail without raising prices. The opening of the Kent outlet store and distribution center in January and the relocation in May of the Tacoma outlet store to our Tacoma distribution center streamlined processes, cutting operational costs. Leveraging a market need for one-stop holiday shopping, stand-alone Christmas shops were created in Bonney Lake, South Lacey, North Tacoma,
ONLINE Riding a 14.7% increase in sales in 2013, we are now the thirdlargest Goodwill online operation in the country, shipping 500 – 600 pieces a day. Fueled by media coverage, online bidding for a rare African artifact collection set a new Washington state record for Goodwill of $23,473. Renovations on a new 14,500 square foot facility were completed this year to manage the larger inventory and shipping needs for the future. Over the past six years, online operations have more than doubled in size and sales from $2.1 million in 2008 to $4.5 million last year.
DONATIONS Donations are the primary source of Goodwill’s revenue stream. An emphasis on convenient donation sites, and increased partnerships with community associations, school districts and colleges produced 7.4 million pounds of additional donations this year compared to 2012. The 90.3 million pounds collected during 2013 included nearly 7.3 million pounds in electronic goods, making Goodwill in Tacoma the second largest collector of recyclable e-waste in the state of Washington. Goodwill offers attended donation drop off sites at 50 locations throughout our 15-county service area.
GO2 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES Residential and commercial offerings throughout Pierce county include custodial services, carpet cleaning, full-service landscape maintenance and general handyman expertise – all designed for job creation. In 2013, Go2 launched a floor grinding enterprise, creating attractive polished concrete flooring in five Goodwill store locations. At the close of the year Go2 received a $50,000 graffiti abatement contract with the City of Tacoma, making the service available in 2014 to 15,000 property owners along key transportation corridors.
RECYCLE AND ZERO WASTE EFFORTS The development of new recycling markets for ceramics, glass, wood products and plastics, helped Goodwill increase recycling efforts by 40% in 2013. Recycling coupled with the repurposing of raw material took us one step closer to the goal of zero waste from the donation stream.

RETAIL STORES Donations are sold to shoppers, either in a local Goodwill retail store, or online at shopgoodwill.com, providing jobs for over 1,200 people.
TRAINING PROGRAMS LEAD TO EMPLOYMENT In 2013, Goodwill provided 8,923 people with job training and support. Critical to success were the 1,013 corporate partners in the region who provided job openings and program resources. With their support, the programs helped place 2,678 people into careers – up 40% from last year.
TRANSITIONING SOLDIERS, VETERANS GAIN EMPLOYMENT WITH GOODWILL VETERANS SERVICES Goodwill’s Operation: GoodJobs, a program for veterans and military transitioning to civilian life, has helped more than 350 individuals and families with job placement, retention and advancement support services over the past two years. An additional 500 area military will be helped in 2014, thanks to the founding support of the Walmart Foundation and new funding from Bank of America, Boeing, the National Wounded Warrior Project, Starbucks and Wells Fargo. This year, Starbucks designated their store in Lakewood as a Community Store, creating a regional hub for veteran services. Store sales help provide funding for veterans.
Goodwill programs reach out to job seekers with barriers to education and employment such as age, income, gender and disabilities. All job seekers are given a career foundation – lifeskills, financial planning and occupational education – for a better quality of life.

REACH Center. REACH (Resources for Education and Career Help) is a remarkable collaboration of 30 organizations providing education and personal development services to youth ages 16 to 24. In 2013 our combined efforts served nearly 3,000 young adults. In addition to career training, these programs focus on lifeskills that ensure success. Youth Barista trainees go beyond espresso arts to learn café management and operations in a real world setting. Students in STEPS define personal and career goals, then chart a realistic path. And YouthBuild helps at-risk young people complete their education through GED classes, while simultaneously training for the future in a variety of construction trades. OTHERS WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT GET TRAINING FOR TODAY’S JOB MARKET In 2013, Goodwill assisted 255 unemployed low-income seniors 55 and over with skill training and transitional employment, through the Senior Community Services Employment Program (SCSEP) which upgrades job skills, provides work experience and then helps seniors with job placement services. Thanks to a partnership with the Walmart Foundation, 196 unemployed and underemployed women received current job skills, help with defining career goals and a hand up to a better job as part of the Beyond Jobs program. Support services such as financial education classes are also provided to help the participant advance in their career. This past year, the Culinary skills program provided 51 low income students with 12 weeks of hands-on and classroom culinary training for entry-level food service
jobs. Goodwill runs The Neighborhood Bistro and a separate catering operation to provide real-world training opportunities. The Catering program supervised students in serving 150 companies and organizations such as Chuckals, Tacoma Pierce County Housing Consortium and the American Heart Association with premier class catering and meal service in social and business settings. The Warehouse and Logistics program enrolls 150 people per year with a 65% or better job placement and retention rate. This entry-level industry approved job training course is broadcast live from Goodwill’s Tacoma campus to the offices in Longview and Yakima. The partnership with Tacoma Community College provides instructors in math, computer skills, customer service, job readiness, logistics and personal growth. Now in it’s eighth year with partner Key Bank, the Financial Literacy program continues to provide the skills people need to make sound financial decisions. Along with Pierce County and the IRS, three months of free tax preparation were offered as a community service. This assistance helps low income singles and families understand and claim Earned Income Tax Credits, which range between $487 and $6,044 depending upon income and family size. TOGETHER, WE HAVE MORE TO DO Collectively, Goodwill’s business and community partnerships assist 9,000 people – or 13% - of those needing employment in our 15-county region. But there is more to do. Transitioning military entering our job market will increase in 2014 – 2015, putting pressure on a region that already possess some of the highest levels of unemployment in Washington State. We thank our 1,000 business and organizational partners that are helping us to make headway. Together we can provide those who need it most help in finding employment and a better quality of life.
