The second challenge is that each Goodwill is an independent organization, and is governed by a voluntary board of directors. When developing programs and services for veterans and military families, each respective Goodwill organization considers the distinctive social and economic environment to determine which services will best allow community members to better support their families, and build better communities altogether Goodwill is rare, in that it truly does not discriminate for color, sex, or race. It’s only deterrent is lack of funding. Working as a community, together, only success can be accomplished.
