The award is being presented to Goodwill at the institute’s annual conference in New Orleans on April 9. Now in its eighth year, the EIFLE was created to acknowledge innovation, dedication, and a strong commitment to advance financial literacy education. The interactive game, created by MoneyWorks Manager Jane Drake, consists of simple playing cards that challenge players to make choices between needs and wants, and to balance those with “gots” or income. The game also stresses the importance of budgeting for primary needs such as food, housing, clothing, and transportation. In the second-round play, “drat” cards are introduced, representing those unfortunate events that can happen unexpectedly and throw a budget out of balance. “The game was really developed as a way to generate discussion,” said Drake. “I wanted a fun and engaging ice breaker activity that would introduce the real decisions that have to be made in managing personal finances.” MoneyWorks is a mission-based “I wanted a fun services division of and engaging ice Goodwill that is focused breaker activity...” on helping individuals achieve financial wellness by providing one-on-one support and coaching for success in spending, saving, debt reduction, tax preparation assistance, and more. Founded in 2002, the Institute for Financial Literacy is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Maine, whose mission is to promote effective financial education and counseling by working with organizations to incorporate financial education into their existing services. ■ Message from the President Goodwill Industries of West Michigan, Inc. Board of Directors CHAIR William Lowry Spring is a time of growth Dear Friends: No matter how long and cold the winter, spring is sure to follow. After making it through what some are calling the worst Michigan winter in many years, the coming of spring has never been more welcome. FIRST VICE CHAIR Peter Johnson SECOND VICE CHAIR Tom Dake TREASURER Kenneth Kraus SECRETARY Marcy Joy MEMBERS Libby Cherin Richard Dolack Kris Drake Paul Gilbert William Grant Renae Hesselink George Johnson Diana Osborn Michele Ringelberg Alan Steinman Charles Timmer Clinton Todd Michael Veltman PRESIDENT AND CEO Richard J. Carlson Corporate Headquarters 271 East Apple Avenue Muskegon, MI 49442 Phone (231) 722-7871 Fax (231) 728-6408 www.goodwillwm.org Along with many other businesses and organizations, the snow and blizzard-like conditions impacted us financially. Shoppers and donors (understandably) stayed at home, and our Industrial Services Center experienced several days of absentee workers due to transportation cancellations. We endured. Now, like green shoots poking through the warming ground, we have many new exciting projects on the horizon. As you will read in this newsletter, we are planning an expansion at our headquarter facility on Apple Avenue to house a new career center. The center will offer job training, financial action services, and our GoodTemps temporary staffing services. We are also very excited about our new Holland Store and Donation Center that will include a mission-based services office, as well as a GoodTemps satellite office – further expanding our mission in Ottawa County. As you will also read, our MoneyWorks division has formed a promising partnership with Head Start of Muskegon/Oceana to develop and expand our financial empowerment activities to low-income families in our community. Speaking of spring, now is a great time to clean out your closets and donate to Goodwill! We’ve just received a nice boost of donations from our semi-annual Younkers Goodwill Sale and we thank all of you who participated. Your donations of clothing and other household goods fuels our mission of helping people prepare for, find, and keep good jobs. Thank you for your continued support!

New industrial contract provides work opportunities • light industrial • parts assembly • sorting / collating • packaging • labeling • inspection • heat-sealing • poly-bagging • mailing services • custom projects • and more G oodwill’s Industrial Services division recently welcomed an influx of work opportunities through a new partnership with N-K Manufacturing Technologies, LLC. N-K is a privately owned, Grand Rapidsbased company specializing in injection molding and profile extrusion for the automotive, marine, recreational vehicle, office seating, and medical industries. Several months ago they contacted Industrial Services Manager Stan Brown about outsourcing some of its assembly work to reduce costs and free up their skilled machine operators. “When looking into Goodwill Industries and what they had to offer, we found a working relationship that benefits both N-K and Goodwill’s clientele,” said N-K Quality/Systems Manager Dawn Hansen. Housed within its headquarter facility, Goodwill’s Industrial Services Center provides paid work opportunities for persons with disabilities and other barriers to employment. ISO 9001:2008 certified, the center offers nearly 13,000 square feet of flexible workspace and up to 150 workers. Why “All of the jobs we are doing for N-K are high-volume assemblies for the automotive industry,” Brown said. “We developed fixtures to adapt the work to the capabilities of our workers, increase efficiency, and ensure quality. The jobs are ideally suited for us, and our people really like working on the projects.” “We enjoy working with Goodwill,” Hansen said. “Each N-K employee who has had an opportunity to visit the Muskegon facility walks away with two things: a smile knowing the Goodwill clients love working with N-K and appreciate the opportunities provided, and knowing we are giving back to the community in a small way by creating these opportunities.” ■ www.goodwillwm.org | 3 outsource? • Save Time • Save Money • Save Space • Meet Deadlines • Reduce Hassle • Enjoy Flexibility • Eliminate Worry (231) 722-7871 ext. 228 Turn your JEANS into JOBS. Goodwill MoneyWorks Manager Jane Drake discusses available services to Head Start parents at the Glenside School library and solicits feedback for the development of customized programs to meet their needs. Goodwill forms financial wellness partnership with Head Start Please DONATE to Goodwill. We help people find JOBS. Goodwill Industries’ MoneyWorks financial action services is pleased to announce a new partnership between Head Start of Muskegon/Oceana. Head Start is a federallyfunded child development/preschool program that serves approximately 1,200 low-income families in Muskegon and Oceana counties. Goodwill recently discovered a facilitated learning opportunity offered to Head Starts that specifically focuses on the expansion and improvement of providing financial stability services. Recognizing the potential for a mutually beneficial collaboration, Goodwill MoneyWorks Manager Jane Drake approached local Head Start Program Director Stuart Jones about partnering with Goodwill to prepare a proposal. Offered by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), more than 75 organizations across the country submitted proposals for this “Intensive Learning Cluster” grant. The proposal submitted by Head Start Muskegon/Oceana and Goodwill Industries of West Michigan was one of just five selected. 4 | www.goodwillwm.org The grant includes $5,000 to cover costs and a CFED consultant to help identify goals and ultimately put a plan into action. The project aims to help local Head Start families become more financially empowered and successful. Now in its planning stages, Goodwill is working with Head Start and other community partners to identify community resources and effective strategies for bringing financial empowerment activities to low-income families. The grant was awarded in October and runs through September 2014. Goodwill’s MoneyWorks, along with collaborating partners, are currently offering free tax preparation services and in the coming months will be designing targeted workshops on specific topics related to spending plans, credit building, debt reduction, and more. “I am very excited at how the project is shaping up, and the opportunity to be part of developing interactive workshops for families in the Head Start programs,” said Drake. “It has been great to work with a project team that is so innovative and eager to develop new ideas that will result in greater financial empowerment for lowincome parents and their children.” ■ Expansion for career center in progress Goodwill recently broke ground on an expansion project at its headquarter facility on Apple Avenue. The 7,750 square-foot addition will house a new career center offering mission-based services to the community, and will open this fall. Services provided at the center will include Goodwill’s MoneyWorks financial coaching and free tax preparation services, GoodTemps temporary staffing and support services, the Prisoner Reentry and Beyond Jobs program offices, and other vocational trainings and workshops. “This is a big step for us in terms of expansion and consolidation of our services on our Apple Avenue campus,” said President and CEO Richard Carlson. “The new center will allow us to better serve the community by offering people multiple, complementary services in one location.” A confluence of unanticipated events led to the expansion. In November 2012, Goodwill purchased the adjacent auto repair shop property (Joe’s Friendly Service that had gone out of business), and razed the building and planted an attractive grassy lawn. At the end of June 2013, Goodwill’s employment services contract with Muskegon County’s Michigan Works! ended when the county took over the services and consolidated site locations. Goodwill housed these services at its Workforce Development Center at Park Place on Norton Avenue. The GoodTemps and Goodwill Prisoner Reentry offices remain at this rented location but the space is now too large. Concurrently, Goodwill’s recently developed MoneyWorks financial services had been looking for a community-accessible location for several years. “Once we knew our Michigan Works! contract would be ending we explored the possibility of numerous downtown locations to house our new and remaining community-based career services. The properties were either too costly, poorly configured for our purposes, or the wrong size,” said Goodwill COO James Moore. “Finally, we came to the conclusion to add on to our existing location and it made perfect sense. The recent purchase of Joe’s afforded us this opportunity.” The facility will feature a training room, a computer lab, interview rooms, and more. A separate entrance to the center will be accessed through Goodwill’s rear parking lot off of Sophia. ■ Get Clean while Going Green! environmentally preferred cleaning and floor care ■ commercial /office cleaning ■ full-service hard floor care ■ professional carpet cleaning ■ competitively priced ■ highly trained staff ■ supervised and quality assured ■ fully licensed and insured ■ over 20 years of experience Free estimates: (231) 722-7871 ext. 250 www.goodwillwm.org | 5 Stores Donations accepted at all locations Allendale 5269 Lake Michigan Drive Allendale, MI 49401 616-895-1851 Cedar Springs 3591 17 Mile Road NE Cedar Springs, MI 49413 616-696-1781 Coopersville 1141 West Randall Street Coopersville, MI 49404 616-837-0801 Fremont 1422 West Main Street Fremont, MI 49412 231-924-3493 Grand Haven 1112 Robbins Road Grand Haven, MI 49417 616-844-2229 Holland North 393 East Lakewood Boulevard Holland, MI 49424 616-393-0383 Holland South 1180 Washington Avenue Holland, MI 49423 616-393-6377 Ludington 4781 West US-10 Ludington, MI 49431 231-843-0003 Manistee 282 12th Street Manistee, MI 49660 231-723-3402 Muskegon 1934 East Sherman Boulevard Muskegon, MI 49444 231-830-8607 Newaygo Store improvements underway Goodwill store and donation centers are in a continuous mode of upkeep and improvement. “We strive to stay abreast of maintaining our facilities to ensure the best experience for our shoppers and donors,” said Retail Director James Cherney. “With 16 stores there are always projects on the horizon.” The Manistee location recently upgraded its bathrooms with new tile on the floors and walls. New paint and signage have just been completed at the Fremont location and is scheduled for new tile in the bathrooms. The Allendale store will be getting a major renovation in early spring to be completed by early summer. Eight additional windows will be installed on the east and west walls will add even more natural light to the facility. New floor treatment, wall paint, and bathroom tile are also on the list of improvements. ■ 8143 Mason Drive Newaygo, MI 49337 231-652-2306 North Muskegon 1169 Whitehall Road North Muskegon, MI 49445 231-744-1215 Norton Shores 1484 Ellis Road Muskegon, MI 49444 231-798-2817 Roosevelt Park 950 West Norton Avenue Muskegon, MI 49441 231-733-2989 Whitehall 3353 Underwood Drive Whitehall, MI 49461 231-893-0593 Zeeland 9479 Riley Street Zeeland, MI 49464 616-772-0760 Donation Center Only Leppinks Shopping Center 17687 174th Avenue Spring Lake, MI 49456 Holland store and donation center to expand Goodwill is purchasing nearly an acre of land adjacent to its current North Holland store location on Lakewood Boulevard. This spring, Goodwill will build a completely new 14,000 square-foot store next to its existing store and deconstruct the old store. Goodwill originally built the Lakewood Boulevard store in 1993 and renovated and expanded the store ten years later with a grand re-opening in November 2003. “We are very excited about building an entire new store with high ceilings, lots of windows and natural light, and a larger and easier access donation drive-through area,” Retail Director James Cherney said. “The additional land space also allows us to expand parking which is currently limited.” Also included in the planned construction is a satellite career center offering job training and placement services along with a GoodTemps temporary employment staffing office. “We are eager to expand our mission-based services in Ottawa County,” said Mission Services Director Jennifer Tucker. “We are currently developing programs to support the community.” Stay tuned for more news on this exciting project. ■ As Close As Your Computer 6 | www.goodwillwm.org Retail training pilot program extended Michigan Works! MuskegonOceana has extended its partnership with Goodwill to assist job seekers in becoming work-ready for a career in the retail sector. The nine-week retail training sessions are limited to 12 students and uses a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on cash register training with paid, onthe-job training at a Goodwill store during the final week. Using current curriculum and testing tools — including those from the National Retail Federation (NRF) — graduates gain the skills and knowledge they need to be outstanding retail workers; giving them a competitive edge Goodwill Retail Training Instructor Mary Wolfinger teaches student how to use a cash register. when seeking a retail position in the community. “The program gives participants a running start,” said Instructor Mary Wolfinger. “They come away not only with a solid understanding of customer service and selling, but also an opportunity to gain confidence through real-work experience.” ■ Color of the Week Sale Goodwill ranks second largest on survey For the second year in a row, Goodwill Industries was ranked second largest nonprofit organization in the NonProfit Times’ 25th annual in-depth survey of the country’s 100 largest charities. The report ranks nonprofits according to total revenue, in-kind contributions and sources of income such as government, investment, program service and public support. Data for the study are collected from a charity’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 and data derived from a combination of audited financial statements, and surveys of member agencies. Goodwill is rated according to three different categories. They include contributions and their sources (including donor advised funds, direct and indirect public donations, and government and non-government grants); revenue (such as program service revenue, rent income, realized gains, and interest and dividends); and expenses (program, management, fundraising and other general expenses). The report shows a slow rebound in the nonprofit sector that mirrors that of the country’s economic recovery. ■ 50% off every Monday on select color tag Hours: Mon-Sat 9am-8pm Sun 11am-5pm www.goodwillwm.org | 7 For a store nearest you: www.goodwillwm.org Goodwill and Ad Council partner on multimedia campaign Custom Staffing Solutions To Meet Your Needs ■ Temporary ■ Temp-to-Hire ■ Direct Hire No fees or waiting periods for permanent hire! (231) 739-9010 Goodwill Industries International and the Ad Council launched their first national multimedia public service advertising (PSA) campaign to encourage Americans to help create jobs in their communities by donating clothing and household items to Goodwill. The Ad Council is a nonprofit organization that marshals volunteer talent from the advertising and communications industries along with resources of the media, to deliver critical messages to the American public. Created pro bono by New York-based advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, the PSAs communicate how revenue from the sale of an individual’s possessions helps provide job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs. Using the tagline “Donate Stuff. Create Jobs.” the PSAs are distributed to media outlets nationwide and run and air in advertising time and space entirely donated by the media. “Our research has shown that Americans are very concerned with issues of jobs and employment,” said Ad Council President and CEO Peggy Conlon. “This new campaign will enable all Americans the opportunity to become job creators and make a significant difference in the lives of individuals living in their communities.” “Saatchi & Saatchi is proud to partner with the Ad Council in bringing to life the important work of Goodwill in an emotionally compelling way,” said Durk Barnhill, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi New York. “Goodwill is an American brand icon and we hope to encourage more people across the country to donate.” To view the PSAs, visit adcouncil.org. ■ Before and after... Goodwill’s cafeteria gets a facelift Goodwill’s headquarter location on Apple Avenue houses a cafeteria that is used by more than 100 program participants each day, as well as staff. The space recently received a cheerful facelift and remodeling. “We wanted our program participants to have a space that was more visually inviting and enjoyable,” said Goodwill Vocational Rehabilitation Manager Meredith Champagne. The laminate flooring was removed and the concrete was ground and polished to an attractive, low-maintenance finish. The walls were freshly painted and new ceiling panels added. A mural with Goodwill’s mission messaging was also installed. “We replaced our long narrow tables with round ones, offering a friendlier space for socializing with coworkers,” Champagne said. “Several of the tables are height-adjustable to accommodate wheel chairs.” In addition to these improvements, new microwaves and a commercial-sized refrigerator were purchased, and additional vending machines were added offering expanded food selections. ■ 8 | www.goodwillwm.org Goodwill changes electronic recycling partner Goodwill is now contracting with Valley City Electronic Recycling for its computer and television recycling needs. Since 2005, GIWM has been a part of the Dell Reconnect program – a national electronic recycling partnership forged nationally with Goodwill Industries International and Dell Inc. Although the Dell partnership was successful, the program only handles computer and computer-related products and not televisions, which are more difficult and costly to recycle. “We made the switch to simplify our operations — saving time and space while improving the financial impact of the program,” said Goodwill Industrial Services Manager Stan Brown. “Valley City is well-respected in this industry and has processes in place that keeps nearly 100% of all these materials out of landfills.” Valley City Electronic Recycling is a Grand Rapids-based company that has been providing safe, environmentally friendly, domestic recycling of electronics for 42 years. It is the only Michigan electronics recycler that processes cathode ray tube (CRT) glass from televisions and older computer monitors using a form of recycling is referred to as "glass-to-glass,” considered to be the highest form of recycling for this material. “We needed to be able to maintain a sustainable, environmentally safe program that provides our donors the convenience of dropping off their unwanted or broken computers, televisions, and other computer-related items, at any of our store and donation centers at no cost to them,” said Brown. “The revenue that we generate pays wages for Goodwill program participants who process, sort, and palletize the items, and we are also able to divert toxic waste from our landfills while avoiding costly dumping fees.” ■ A Little Goodwill Goes a Long Way Donated merchandise Generates sales Please donate to Goodwill Your financial gift helps support our mission of helping people find jobs. 90% of funds go to train Sue Thank you!
