It’s #WorldFoodDay! 🌎🍎 Did you know Goodwill OC has a food pantry called The Good Market/El Buen Mercado? Located at the Tierney Center for Veteran Services and our retail distribution center, the pantry offers free access to nutritious food within arm’s reach to the several hundred employees, program participants and veterans that visit the center every day. 🥕 In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, we’re committed to reducing food insecurity and ensuring the people we serve have fresh produce, dairy, and essentials to support their well-being as they continue on their career development. 💙 #OCGoodwill #FoodSecurity #SecondHarvestOC

Today is #WorldInclusionDay, Goodwill posted a picture of my son Tom when he worked at Balboa Bay Resort along with his co-workers/friends and job coach. (PS -he is the tallest one). Currently, he has been re-assigned to the Goodwill Store in Lake Forest. He loves his job, and especially loves greeting and helping customers. Thank you Goodwill for helping Tom find his purpose!

I was incredibly grateful to be invited to share our family's story on Orange County United Way's new episode of Cultures United "Expanding Choice and Opportunities: Access to Meaningful Work and Housing Options for Adults with Disabilities." I spoke about the need for more employment and housing choices for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and high support needs. It was a great discussion with leaders from Goodwill of Orange County and Together for Choice. Check it out!
