A MESSAGE FROM THE
CHAIRMAN
Dear Friends, For us at Goodwill, there is nothing more satisfying than providing job training, placement, and career opportunities to people who are determined to change their lives. People like Bob, Shariece and Rachel featured in this report. As we approach a century of service, I’m proud that our organization continues to reach new milestones. In 2016, we assisted a record 10,349 people with education, life skills and career counseling, including 2,642 young adults in the REACH Center. Of that group we also helped a record 3,200 people enter a variety of careers with 1,150 companies. And finally, we helped reduce individuals’ reliance on welfare and other social services, saving taxpayers $23 million. Along with our successes however, we faced new challenges in 2016 – a changing retail industry, a decline in public funding, and the growing need for more comprehensive education and employment services for people in our community. Also in 2016, we began a leadership transition with the retirement of CEO Terry Hayes. Her significant contribution to the growth and success of our enterprise over the last 15 years is something we are commited to expand upon as we move into the future. Improving services for the unemployed in the face of revenue challenges had an impact on the bottom line in 2016 and we expect a shortfall in 2017. With another challenging year ahead, our revenue and fundraising efforts must diversify and expand so we can provide comprehensive career counseling, education, job training and job placement services for people in our community. This report highlights initiatives that will take us further in 2017, such as the expansion of online retail, innovation in our thrift stores, and expansion of our other businesses. Our mission services work in 2017 will focus on helping participants get closer to self-sufficiency through clearly defined career pathways. This strategy will help those we serve obtain living wage employment and a higher quality of life – long-term solutions for our region’s most needy. As we look to the future, we hope you will continue to support us during this exciting time. Our partnerships with businesses and our public and private investors are now more critical than ever. Together we can remain a leading social force to help people change their lives. Thank you for your support!
C.W. Herchold 2016 Board Chair Terry Hayes Retired CEO (2001 - 2016)

Shawna Vickery Warehouse & Logistics Skills Graduate Shawna Vickery struggled in high school due to a slight learning disability and rebelled by skipping class. During her senior year, she was shocked to learn that she was no longer enrolled at her school due to her excessive absences. That was her wakeup call. She went to an alternative high school and earned her diploma two years later. Shawna had worked retail and as a nanny, but neither satisfied her. “I needed to do something with my life – I needed a new me.” When she

or 19 years, Bob Tuilaepa was employed as a truck driver earning a good salary. But Bob
developed a condition called keratoconus, a hereditary disease that causes the thinning of the eye’s cornea. No longer able to safely drive, Bob had to leave his job. Bob received a cornea transplant for one of his eyes but was unable to afford the second. With his savings depleted, he found himself living in a hotel. “I had to figure out really quickly how I was going to bounce back and be an asset to society.” Bob had been cooking all his life with his family’s catering business, so Goodwill’s Culinary Skills program seemed like a good place to start. “I used to say ‘I love making people fat and happy one meal at a time.’ Now instead of fat and happy, I want to make them healthy and happy.”
Through Goodwill, Bob learned about positions for cooks with the Seafarers International Union. He completed the six-week certification program and was hired as an advanced cook. Now he travels the globe preparing meals for a captain and crew who love his cooking.

hariece Summers always enjoyed working with others, so it was not a surprise that she joined the Army.
“I joined because I wanted to have a purpose in life and I wanted to serve my country,” she said. But after 10 years in the service, the physical demands of the job resulted in severe wear and tear on her knees and feet making it impossible for her to meet all of the Army’s requirements. Shariece knew she wanted to use many of the skills she had learned in the logistics and human resources career field so she started attending job fairs focused on Veterans. She quickly recognized that she needed help learning how to best communicate her skills and aspirations to others. “Despite my outgoing personality, my biggest challenge was answering questions,” she said. Luckily she found help from Goodwill’s Operation GoodJobs program.
“My case manager and others helped me practice and gave me feedback,” she said. “With those interview techniques and a new resume to market me to the HR industry, they helped me to get employed.” Today Shariece is a successful human resources specialist for an international security firm, and she is continuing her

INVESTING IN PEOPLE Ready to Work Fundraising Event Each year, Goodwill hosts Ready to Work, an event which recognizes the impact businesses, community members, donors and individuals have on the lives of hard-working youth and adults who need help going to work. It is also the forum for asking the community to support Goodwill’s mission by making gifts to the DreamMaker Scholarship Fund. More than 83 business partners and donors showed their support for Goodwill at the 2016 Ready to Work luncheon, raising $215,000 for job training scholarships for program participants to be “Ready to Work”.
DreamMakers DreamMakers are generous supporters who believe in Goodwill’s mission of changing lives through the power of work. DreamMakers make annual gifts of $1,500 or more to provide scholarships to people with barriers to employment. 100% of DreamMakers life changing gifts provide training and educational opportunities for deserving individuals. In 2016, the DreamMaker program awarded 234 scholarships to program participants in need of financial assistance, allowing them the chance to pursue a career path and change their lives.

achel Decew’s parents divorced when she was just two years old so she alternated living between their
homes in Nevada and Utah. At 12, she moved to Utah permanently to live with her mother but quickly fell in with the wrong crowd. She drifted away from school, began using drugs and found herself in and out of juvenile detention. At age 18, Rachel spent some time in prison. Upon her release, she and her boyfriend decided to relocate to Tacoma for a fresh start. But things got worse instead of better. “We were poisonous to each other,” says Rachael. Both she and her boyfriend were arrested and served more time. While in prison, Rachel realized she needed to change. “I decided I was done. It was time for me to straighten up.” She heard about Goodwill’s YouthBuild program from her boyfriend’s cousin. She signed up and things started to fall into place. She got off drugs (a requirement of the program), earned her GED and received the job training she needed to find a good job. Today Rachel is a flagger with Northwest Flagging and Barricades, making a good income and building her future.
“YouthBuild provided structure and a routine for me, something I hadn’t had before. It got me prepared to go to work.”
