At the beginning of the day, Dan said he didn't even know what thrifting was...

Now he's planning his next thrifting trip!

Looks like one visit to our Orrville store was all it took! Thanks to the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce for stopping by, having some fun, and discovering that you never know what treasures are waiting on the shelves.

Welcome to the thrifting club, Dan. We'd say there's no going back, but we'll probably see you back in the store soon.

Meet Ashley!

Ashley is a client working with a Goodwill case manager who recently achieved an exciting milestone: earning her driver's license!

When Ashley entered the program, transportation was a barrier that made it more difficult to access opportunities and work toward her goals. Through determination, hard work, and persistence, she successfully passed her test and obtained her driver's license.

Having a driver's license opens the door to greater independence and new opportunities for employment, education, and personal growth. This accomplishment represents more than just a license. It's a major step forward in Ashley's journey.

We are incredibly proud of Ashley and all the effort she put into reaching this goal. Congratulations, Ashley! You earned it, and we can't wait to see where the road takes you next.
