Goodwill and FDA glassware cleaning in the same sentence? Who knew! #DidYouKnow that Goodwill Team Members clean, sort and sanitize glassware used by scientists of the FDA. Goodwill of Greater Washington’s Contract Services provide employment opportunities for people with significant disabilities by securing Federal contracts in accordance with the AbilityOne Program. These contract services offer employment opportunities including: on-the-job training, a fair wage, and benefits for people with disabilities, while providing the Federal government with quality custodial, pest control, grounds maintenance and glassware maintenance services. Here’s a look at a small selection of the types of glass that our team carefully cleans. The variety of glass pieces are endless. #Goodwill #DCGoodwill #BehindtheScenes #FDA #Glassware #Pyrex #Erlenmeyer #Flask #Beaker #Nonprofit

Let's give it up for our RISE Academy (TRAc) graduates! 🎊 Last week, our local nonprofit hosted a special ceremony and luncheon to celebrate the accomplishments of our latest 2024 cohort. Launched in 2021, TRAc was one of the primary outcomes of a strategic organizational evolution. Through TRAc, Goodwill of Greater Washington wanted to begin emphasizing the professional development and career advancement of its own team members and achieve growth from within. TRAc gives Goodwill team members a clear professional trajectory by providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop a career ladder inside or outside the organization. While this program started in Goodwill's donated goods and retail operations, it has now expanded to the contract's team, and more growth is ahead. Here's a glimpse into the afternoon's festivities! #Goodwill #DCGoodwill #JobGrowth #CareerDevelopment #JobTraining #Nonprofit #Local #WorkforceDevelopment #Community #RetailGrowth

Goodwill of Greater Washington reposted this
I am still feeling amazed as I write this. I am inspired by the fact that Goodwill of Greater Washington, a workforce development, local nonprofit that helps people achieve their life dreams, is playing a crucial and meaningful role in protecting our planet's future. I never imagined that Goodwill of Greater Washington would have the opportunity to host hundreds of Goodwill colleagues both from around the country and internationally at our glowing Sustainability Center. This center diverts plastic film from landfills through a partnership with Trex Company; transforms unsold glass items into clean sand using an Andela Products Glass Pulverizer funded by a Truist Foundation Grant; gives broken electronics a new life via the Dell Technologies Reconnect Program; recycles cardboard in partnership with Georgetown Paper Stock Co and so much more. That's just the tip of the iceberg! Excited conversations, discussing new ways to recycle, repurpose, and reuse filled the Center earlier this month. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Goodwill Industries International, my fellow Presidents and CEOs, Colleen Morrone, Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County, and Lisa Rusyniak, Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake, Inc. (Baltimore, MD), and Cynthia Andela from Andela Products for helping to write this part of Goodwill of Greater Washington's community impact story and allowing us to share it at the first-ever Goodwill Industries International Sustainability Summit from August 14th through 16th. Gratitude must also be given to my Goodwill Family—from the Team Members who power the Sustainability Center to those who work in our Administrative Offices. I am forever thankful for all you do so that our organization can focus on serving people and the planet while fostering prosperity for all. #Goodwill #DCGoodwill #GoodwillofGreaterWashington #Sustainability #Local #Nonprofit #Community #Donations #Reuse #Recycling
