his October, Goodwill will open the doors to its 16th retail store when Gretna

becomes the newest outpost for the agency.

Chief Operating Officer Randy Parks said that Goodwill has had its eyes on expanding to Gretna for several years.

“Gretna is one of the fastest — if not the fastest — growing communities in the state,” he said. “We just feel it’s one of those gaps in the territory where we can make a difference, both through generating revenue and helping the community.”

here’s a joke in the Partnership program about Sarah Alba being the

human Swiss Army knife. “If you need something,

she can do it,” said Partnership Coordinator Dylan Malone.

The many skills of Sarah Alba have been on display recently, as she took over the responsibility for the intake process in the Partnership program on top of her regular duties as follow-up specialist.

Although the WIA adult program has an intake specialist, the youth program does not, and intakes were becoming an increasingly time-consuming part of career specialists’ jobs, preventing them from spending needed time with participants.

“Dylan came to me and asked what I thought about doing intakes,” Alba said. “Could I do it? And would I want to?”

She thought about it, and decided that after doing follow-up for roughly five years, intakes would be a nice change of pace.

“I had the basic knowledge anyway, being with the program so long, so they didn’t really have to train me,” Alba said.

It just took some rearranging of her schedule — her follow-up responsibilities with 176 young people weren’t going away — and she got her new system up and running.

It quickly proved to be a success. In January alone, the

program enrolled 16 new participants — nearly two-thirds of its goal for the entire quarter.

“A large chunk of that was due to Sarah completing intakes so quickly,” Malone said.

He said that she is always willing to take on whatever she can to help the team meet its goals, and he frequently receives emails and compliments on her work.

Alba has been with Goodwill for more than six years, but she actually came to the agency as a participant.

“I was unemployed, on TANF and food stamps, and I had to do the Employment First program,” she said. Her first caseworker at a different agency tried to get her a job as a bell-ringer.

“I asked ‘How’s that going to get me a job?’” Alba said. “I had a friend that was placed at Goodwill’s Employment First, so I requested for my case to be transferred there.”

Her current coworker Brent Janzen was actually her first case manager. When he tried to help

with job search, Alba said no. “I wanted to do a work

experience and be placed at Goodwill,” she said. “I thought, ‘If they can see what I can do, I can get a job.’”

After about a month and a half of work experience, she was proven right and hired on as the Verification Assistant in February 2007. She was hired for her current position that fall, and she’s been with Goodwill ever since.

“I knew what I wanted to do,” she said. “It worked for me and I’ve been here ever since.”

Alba stays busy outside work with four boys, who are active in basketball, soccer and swimming.

Congratulations, Sarah, and thanks for helping to create more Goodwill success stories!

Our HR department recently relaunched our Star Awards as Above & Beyond and Lifesaver awards. Here is a sampling of some of the amazing things your coworkers were up to last month.

ABOVE & BEYONDTracy Daly, Aaron Kastl and Troy Memming“Braving the storm to report to work early – but turned away at the door not knowing GSA closed the building. Nick and Cyndi very much appreciated their coming to work.”

Candy Jura“Candy is nice and helpful. She taught me lots of things that I did not know. I am glad she works here.”

Don McPherson“Don always goes above and beyond to get jobs finished on time and to ensure the customer is happy. He also goes out of his way to thank the volunteers for all their hard work.”

Gerald McWilliams“Gerald McWilliams went above and beyond helping with snow removal. Thanks for your hard work. Your actions do not go unnoticed.”

Jesse Nelson, John Klauschie, Kathleen Parr and Tyrone Washington“They quickly recognized and reacted to a possible hazard and ensured the safety of our customers.”

Nick Hartman“Nick worked very hard to remove areas of residue around the building. Nick instructed and motivated Gerald, as well as set a positive

example by working as a team to get the work done.”

LIFESAVERAndy Bradley“Andy wrote three stories in one day for the board newsletter. He is a true American hero.”

Bill Fenner“Bill helped out by covering a night shift to attend donation door. This was the first night shift he has covered here, and he did great.

Mike Bever, Dale Benes, Gerald McWilliams and Nick Hartman“They braved the snowstorm, reporting in early and covering huge amounts of areas. Not only above and beyond but truly life savers!”

Ivan Johnson“Ivan is a great addition to our little store! He is always helping me with moving my cages and helping push down my clothes in my Gaylord.”

Jennifer Hoye“She captured the presentation of the first ‘Certificate of Completion’ in the READY computer class (see above). Jen saved the day with her cell phone camera.”

Lynn Johnson“Very helpful and flexible in helping

at the door and whenever possible.”

Natalie Sieben“Taking ownership of new goods, great customer service, key holder in manager and assistant’s absence. Great job – thanks!”

Sarah Urick“Helping me find out how to add money to Goodwill’s USPS account, cutting the check in less than an hour and finding the permit needed to be renewed as well. Our mailing could have been late without her!”

Stephanie Weaver“Going to the store after hours to assist us with an alarm. Thanks for your help!”

Tammy Warren“Tammy worked the whole weekend to help us cover vacations. Her dependability and pride in her work shows. She is truly an asset to the Fremont store. Thank you, Tammy!”

we're coming to gretna!by Neal Obermeyer

The building itself will be constructed in a similar fashion to the Blair store, which opened in August 2012. While Goodwill isn’t pursuing LEED certification for this building, as it did for Blair, the store will still be built with an eye toward sustainability.

Ground broke on Thursday, March 28th, getting the ball rolling on six months of preparation for the first wave of customers.

The process of opening new stores has been refined in recent years, said Retail Sales Director Shannon McGree.

“The retail team gets better and better as the stores keep coming,” she said. While they make minor changes in the process based on the experience at the previous store, the system is essentially the same.

The first thing they do is prepare goods for the store. Each of the existing stores produces a predetermined number of softline pieces per week, which are sent back to the Retail Operations Center, where they are broken down by category.

Around the same time, managers from the other stores come to the ROC to produce and price hardline goods.

After production begins, other

items like racks, cages and hanger stations are ordered.

The hiring process will begin in August, starting with the manager. Retail plans on hiring 25 to 30 employees for the new store, with a special focus on hiring people from the Gretna area.

McGree said that staffing the store with locals not only creates jobs for Gretna, but when community members come into the store to shop, they’ll see faces they recognize.

“That way our customers can more easily buy into our mission,” she said.

While details are not finalized for Employment and Training services at the store, the building will include a classroom for future expansion of mission services.

“Our hope is to have Work Experience there,” said Holly Schwietz, Work Experience coordinator. She has been working with Gretna Public Schools and Springfield-Platteview to explore the possibility of bringing the program to Gretna.

Beyond Work Experience, Vice President of Employment and Training Linda Kizzier said READY may also have a presence in the building. While there wouldn’t be a dedicated staff person, there

would be information posted about READY services.

Interested people could call for help and make appointments at Benson Park, and READY Specialist Sandy Ferrucci could host occasional workshops at the Gretna store.

District Manager Janelle Ellis, who will oversee the store as part of her territory, lives in Gretna, and she has already seen the anticipation build.

“I know just from Facebook that the community is really excited,” she said. “I’ve shared things that [Media Relations Coordinator] Kris Pachunka has posted, and a lot of people from town are sharing them and posting themselves. Gretna is super excited for Goodwill to come in. I’ve heard all positives.”

The last step is to fill the store with product, which takes place in the final days before opening and requires a lot of hands.

“We couldn’t do all of this without the store managers,” McGree said. “They’re providing the product, and they’re coming in and filling it too.

“It’s great teamwork and we couldn’t do it without them.”

In recognition of the Team BLUE leadership transition, we asked Dani McPherson and Angie Montgomery to talk about the past and future of the employee group.

Team Blue: The Pastby Dani McPherson

Brent Koster and I have been the unofficial Team BLUE presidents for quite some time. During this period, we had a Team BLUE softball league with other companies, our own softball game after getting kicked out of the other league, a kick ball game that no one came to and a bowling outing.

We had service events including food drives, marathons and working on Habitat for Humanity homes.

Our favorite Team BLUE activity seemed to be mixers, one of which included a trip to a haunted house. At the last workout event, Brent Koster was so enamored with improving his triple leg jump that he knocked me down in the process.

This led me to think that maybe some changes are in order. So we are passing the torch to Angie Montgomery, Rebecca Armstrong and Danielle Wilcox. They have some great ideas that they are working on!

TEAM BLUE: THE FUTUREby Angie Montgomery

Rebecca, Danielle and I are excited to begin heading up Team BLUE. Thanks to Dani McPherson and Brent Koster for paving the way and giving us some worthy traditions to carry on.

Our goal is to continue the vision of Team BLUE with carrying out three types of activities; Wellness, Community Involvement and Social Mixer events.

Wellness events will include after-hours workout challenges and fun-runs. Community Involvement activities will focus on Goodwill partnering with

other organizations or joining activities that are going on in the community. Social mixers will be a great way for employees to meet others from across the organization. Rumor has it that a much-anticipated karaoke night is at the top of the list. Stay tuned for upcoming events!

The value of Team BLUE is displayed when individuals participate, volunteer and attend events. We are asking each of you to consider joining in! The events are always a ton of fun and everyone is welcome!

We look forward to serving as your Team BLUE committee, with that we encourage any suggestions you may have or events you would like to see Team BLUE participate in.

Feel free to forward any ideas along to Rebecca, Danielle or me.

oodwill and several local Educational Service Units (ESUs) recently received

an educational grant to work with high school students who may need extra assistance developing their work readiness skills. The schools were tasked with recruiting students, while Goodwill was asked to conduct the training.

Goodwill’s Work Experience Program, which is located at seven of our local stores, already trains high school students on work skills as part of the students’ school day. Goodwill’s Work Experience Trainers use curriculum called Skills to Pay the Bills, so Goodwill was a natural fit for this grant to connect with more students in the community.

Skills to Pay the Bills was developed by the federal

government’s Office of Disability Employment Policy. The government first sought input from businesses and employers about what they look for when they hire people to work at their businesses.

Employers said the top characteristics they wanted to see in potential applicants/newly hired employees were all soft skills: ability to communicate, a strong work ethic, initiative, interpersonal skills and teamwork. A lot of these characteristics deal with social skills rather than technical skills.

The government also obtained input from youth when developing the Skills to Pay the Bills lessons because they wanted something effective that students could relate to and remember.

Local schools chose students

who might benefit from extra training on these social skills before it comes time to start looking for work.

Students were selected primarily because they have Autism or Asperger’s, as people with autism typically struggle with social skills and would therefore be most in need of this type of training. The hope is students get something from these trainings which they will use when it is time to get a job.

During the month of March, students completed Skills to Pay the Bills trainings at Goodwill’s Fremont store and at the ROC with students from OPS, West Point, Scribner-Snyder and Fremont.

Students participated in trainings about communication, teamwork, positive mental attitude and problem solving. Work Experience Trainers Erin Wiesen, Sam Comfort, Jenny Salsbury, Taylor Brockman and Jen Hoye assisted the students with team building projects and role play activities. Additional trainings are scheduled in April for Papillion-LaVista students.

Providing training to people with disabilities is one way to remove the obstacles to employment. Goodwill is excited to be partnering with other local community organizations to spread the word about the capabilities of people with disabilities.

a spring full of donation drivesby Brent Koster

t happens every year about this time. The snow starts to melt, the sun comes out, and

people start donating to Goodwill again. Not that people don’t donate in January and February, but March and April bring spring cleaning.

Spring cleaning means de-cluttering and de-cluttering makes for donating to Goodwill. It’s like a the life cycle of a butterfly without the cocoon. Or butterfly.

But the important thing is that donations will be flowing once again as we close out March. Here is a list of all the donation drives we’ve lined up so far:

The Younkers Donation Drive March 13 – 30

This drive will be ending just as April begins, but it’s already been a success for us. The quality of donated items is exceptional, and it’s a great way to share Goodwill with Younkers customers.

The Good Turn for Goodwill April 13-21

Girl Scouts from across the Metro collect donations for Goodwill and bring them to our stores. This drive has been taking place for 28 years! It’s a great opportunity to partner with the Girl Scouts, and help build donations at the same time. There are even prizes for the scouts that donate the most!

College of St Mary’s Computer DriveApril 18

College of St. Mary is holding a campus computer drive for recycling E-waste.

Campus Move-OutMarch 27 – April 19

Goodwill is partnering with Creighton University and Keep America Beautiful in a drive focused on Creighton students as they leave the dorms at the end of their school year.

This is a pilot program between Goodwill and Keep America Beautiful. We are one of

only five Goodwills selected to participate.

Drive for DrivesApril 27

Our semiannual computer recycling drive, the Drive for Drives, is a partnership with Rotary Club of Omaha West and channel WOWT. Last year we collected about 100,000 pounds of E-waste through these drives.

Yes, it’s a fine time to be alive. The grass is turning green, the birds are out, and people are bringing their used items to Goodwill.

reetings from the Office of Planned Giving!

As some of you have heard, a fundraising strategy we are currently using to secure funding for Goodwill programs is through soliciting banks. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is a federal law regulated by agencies like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that some banks are regulated to follow.

The CRA was established by Congress in 1977. The Act requires that deposit-taking financial institutions offer equal access to lending, investment and services to all people in an institution’s geographic assessment area-at least three to five miles from each branch. In the case of large banks with many branches, the geographic area may encompass an entire county or even a state.

Before the CRA, many bankers excluded low-income neighborhoods and people of color from their lending products, investments, and financial

services - a practice known as “redlining”. Community activists coined the term when they discovered that the failure of banks to make loans in some low-income neighborhoods was so geographically distinct, that it was easy to draw red lines on maps to delineate the practices.

In the 1970s, activists in Chicago and across the country brought strong pressure on banks to lend equitably to all those in their communities. Since its passage, the CRA has been used across the United States to win tens of billions of dollars in new lending, investments, and services for communities.

To enforce the statute, federal regulatory agencies examine banking institutions for CRA compliance, and take this information into consideration when approving applications for new bank branches or for mergers or acquisitions.

Goodwill serves a large population of people who live in

areas of our community where reinvestment dollars could be allocated. We also offer the types of programs and services to members of our community who need our assistance with training and finding meaningful employment.

This is why we are able to ask local, regional and national banks located in Omaha to consider investing CRA dollars into Goodwill Industries, Inc.

If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about the Community Reinvestment Act, please feel free to contact me or Elizabeth Donner at any time.

meet kermit doolanby Jennifer Hoye

n February 26, 2013, 12 participants graduated from the Customer

Connect Program with Customer Service Representative diplomas from Metropolitan Community College. Kermit Doolan is one graduate with a bright outlook!

Kermit had two career altering injuries during his life. In 1989, an injury to his right eye ended his ability to work as an automotive mechanic by severely altering his depth perception. Kermit was still able to find work and it wasn’t long before he was back at it!

The second injury occurred 20 years later and didn’t leave him with a lot of options. Kermit’s back needed surgery if he was to ever work or live without pain again. At the time Kermit had little experience at anything outside of

automotive and warehouse work. “I had no office skills and

my job outlook was very bleak”, Kermit said.

“In June of 2010 the doctor finally released me to return to work with the restrictions. I had quite a few job interviews, but no luck,” he said. “My wife had heard about getting help with my resume from the Goodwill web site.”

Kermit contacted Sandy Ferrucci for resume and job search help. Sandy informed Kermit of the Customer Connect program and he was enrolled into the program shortly after.

The Customer Connect program gave Kermit new skills like Power Point, Excel and interview confidence.

“I feel my future looks a lot

better than it did before, with Customer Connect under my belt,” he said. “It is never too late to change the road that you are on with a little hard work, time, and energy.”
