Program
Program:Denise Ost, President & CEO San Joaquin Valley Goodwill Industries – Growing Good Will
Introduced By:Past President & Past District Governor Dr. Joe Serra
Ms. Ost provided to ‘story behind the store’. They operate in 13-counties regionally starting in 1937 locally, but over 100 years nationally. Their motto is ‘strength comes from those that work.’ Each store provides jobs for about 40 individuals that otherwise may not have the opportunity to be in the workforce.
The pandemic was a struggle for Goodwill. As a ‘non-essential’ portion of our workforce they were forced to close. People cleaned up their homes and ended up littering their stores with what became hazardous waste. It costs Goodwill $250,000 to take this waste to the dump in addition to the $2 million loss from being closed. They received help from the government but are still recovery from the shutdown. The local March Lane store is now open six days a week from 10 am to 6 pm. Once the employee shortage is over, they intend to extend their hours and days.
Asking for Rotarians to spread the word, Denise asked that whenever the ‘roll-up doors’ are closed, please do not leave your donated items. Even if people are their wearing orange vest taking items; if the doors are closed, these are likely imposters.
A new 10,000 SF outlet store opening on Arch Rd near Airport Way. This store is expected to double the sales volume due to the intended customer that this store will serve.
Next Meeting: April 13th, 2022
