Donor Spotlight

This week, we want to highlight one of community partners, Goodwill of Orange County. Goodwill is beyond just a thrift store and has programs, which are funded through their stores, that offer employment assistance, personal development and more for those needing a hand-up in those areas of their lives. Goodwill has partnered up with the Courtyard Transitional Center by placing a donation bin at the center.

The Courtyard receives many donations, not all of which are able to be utilized by Courtyard residents, for example baby clothes and toys. Goodwill of Orange County has a donation drop box located on-site for the center staff to place items that would have otherwise gone unused. Goodwill of Orange County then provides City Net and The Midnight Mission with $10 Goodwill gift cards (to participating Goodwill stores) in exchange for the items placed in Goodwill's donation box.

Continue reading below for a story on how these gift cards make an impact in the lives of those at the Courtyard Transitional Center:

Earlier this year, Midnight Mission Case Manager, Devon Kimble, was able to provide a 21-year-old client with Goodwill gift cards. Devon's client was in need of heavy duty work boots for a future job placement. The work boots were the final barrier preventing him from working. For several weeks, Devon circulated the request for work boots with partnering agencies to see if a pair could be donated, with no luck. The Goodwill gift cards were a resource which equipped the client with the ability to purchase heavy duty work boots that worked best for him. 

A huge thank you to Goodwill of Orange County. Thanks to this partnership, the young man was able to purchase the boots he needed. He has since acquired a job, and has been working for over two months. Additionally, he now has moved out of the Courtyard Transitional Center and is sharing an apartment with a friend in Orange County.
