Huge thank you to Alex Yoskey and Colleen Porter from Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland and East Central Ohio, Inc.for turning this week’s Sunrise Session into a game show experience with Goodwill Jeopardy.

I think a lot of us walked in thinking we knew what Goodwill was… and walked out realizing how much impact happens behind the scenes every single day. From mobile donation centers and 36 campuses across the region to family strengthening programs, job placement services, and creative recycling efforts that repurpose items like rocks and terry towels, it was eye opening to see how much purpose can come from things people might otherwise overlook.

One of the biggest surprises? They even want your single shoes. Instead of tossing them, Goodwill has systems in place to help match or repurpose them in meaningful ways.

Shout out to Team 1 for taking home the Sunrise Session Jeopardy win!

Appreciate Alex and Colleen for bringing energy, interaction, and a fresh perspective on the impact happening across our communities every day.

Thank you to Halle Hutton with The Minney Group for speaking yesterday morning at Sunrise Sessions, hosted at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.

Halle shared the story of how founders Bob and Mel Minney built the franchise and the continued growth the company has experienced, especially here in Stark County. What stood out most was how their values continue to guide the organization today through a commitment to people, being kindly honest, staying engaged and curious, owning it, and maintaining a strong team mindset.

She also challenged us to think differently about sustainability, sharing that approximately 81.5 pounds of textiles per person each year end up in landfills. To make it interactive, Halle brought in clothes, toys, and shoes for the group to inspect and guess why they may not pass the initial inspection process at one of their three stores. It gave everyone a fun behind the scenes look at the level of care and detail that goes into their work each day.
