2007 Annual Report
A heartfelt thank you for your support in pursuit of our Mission to put people in central Arizona to work! What an amazing year we had — in fact 2007 was one of our most successful years to date. Goodwill served more than 11,000 individuals needing education and job training through 36 human service programs and placed more than 4,600 into jobs. Our Career Centers assisted more than 39,000 central Arizonans with employment services and we enrolled 250 students at our charter high school, ecademie, which was our highest enrollment yet! This year we also realized success with our outreach to educate Arizona’s communities about what we really do at Goodwill. We have been sharing what our Mission is, how we achieve our Mission and how it changes lives everyday. Our community friends, partners and neighbors always ask if we are a retail store with a service component or a service agency with a retail store function? Well, we are both. Our Mission is realized through Retail and Services. Our Retail stores not only employ thousands of Arizonans, they also serve as a training ground for our program participants to learn real-life work skills. Our Services Mission is realized through our education and training outreach to Arizonans who need our help to navigate through the challenges in their lives while becoming self-sufficient through the power of work. So, Goodwill is not only a great philosophy, it’s becoming a way of life as we work together with our local communities to make them stronger while helping the residents become more independent and the economic foundation more vibrant. We are especially grateful for our customers and community partners and friends. Your generous material donations and overall support of our Mission helps individuals in need and helps us achieve our Mission to Put People to Work by eliminating their barriers to success; barriers such as illiteracy, basic skills deficiencies or a disability. We pride ourselves in the transparency of our operations and the positive impact of our services on local communities. We are proud to present our 2007 Annual Report and through its message, we hope to strengthen community awareness of the Goodwill way. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to positively impacting central Arizona for years to come! Sincerely, Download PDF of the entire report >>
