Founder’s vision of providing a “hand-up rather than a hand-out.” As you look through this annual report, I hope you agree with us that our neighbors with disabilities and other barriers to independence are experiencing life-changing opportunities in our community. Ron Kratofil, President & CEO Anthony Byrne, Chair
Because of Goodwill, our neighbors who have disabilities or other barriers to independence have a place to: • Discover their strengths • Develop their vocational and personal skills • Find employment that allows them to experience the dignity of a paycheck and the power of work Founded by Methodist Minister Edgar J. Helms in 1902, Goodwill is an evolving and thriving not-for-profit and social enterprise. Helms rejected the idea of giving “things” to those in need because it was a process that lacked basic human dignity. Rather than giving away material things, Helms was inspired to use donated goods to fuel a social enterprise that created “opportunities” for individuals to discover their abilities and experience the dignity and power of work. Goodwill continues to deliver on the

Behind the Scenes
Each graphic presentation of “Because of Goodwill” throughout this report represents the handwriting of a different individual whose life has been transformed for the better through their relationship with Goodwill.
MISSION SERVICESGoodwill provides education and career services, job placement opportunities, post-employment support and personal development to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to independence. Individuals can achieve greater levels of self-sufficiency and economic success through Goodwill’s Mission Services. Goodwill programs strengthen communities and families and promote self-sufficiency and dignity for those we serve.
DONATED GOODS AND RETAILGoodwill utilizes its retail and donation centers to provide on-the-job training and employment to people with disabilities, people with disadvantages and others having barriers to finding employment. Revenue from the sale of donated goods goes directly toward supporting and growing critical community-based services and other employment-related supports.
BUSINESS SERVICESGoodwill creates paid employment experiences and job training opportunities for people with disabilities and other barriers to independence by providing contract work for commercial businesses, state and local government, and other community partners. These business service opportunities provide a variety of work experience and training environments in Goodwill facilities and in the community.

This farm links the trainee farmer to real-world business. Trainees learn how to organically grow, harvest, and sell fruits and vegetables. Glenn is a trainee who works at this farm. He enjoys working outside, being with his friends at the farm, and takes pride in growing the crops. He said, “I like it when I get to meet our shareholders and they buy the fruits and vegetables that I grow.”
People can support this program by purchasing a share. Each week, from June to November, shareholders can come to the farm and select from the harvest.
Goodwill at Homefields Farm, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, produces more than 45 different fruits and vegetables while supporting people with disabilities.
Homefields, a non-profit organization, is the owner of a 23-acre farm in Lancaster County. Homefields is dedicated to creating new life options for people with disabilities, and the volunteer board raises funds to support both the vocational and residential programs on the farm property. In 2000, Goodwill joined Homefields in providing horticultural job opportunities for people with disabilities.
“I have great friends and a great job.”
Glenn is proud of the pumpkin
that he grew.

The Grills learned about Goodwill’s Summer Youth Employment Program and thought it was a good fit for Zachary. This program gives young adults the chance to learn work and social skills while earning a paycheck. “It was uplifting for us to meet the program manager, Joyce Burkholder. She is wonderful and has a disability herself,” described Maria. Joyce taught Zachary that a person with a disability can have a job and be successful. She expressed, “As a parent, I am so grateful for Goodwill because it taught him communication and accountability. Learning that he could work was life-changing for Zachary.”
Stephen said, “We are blessed to have three boys and a close family.” Maria added, “We do our best to support Goodwill. Because of Goodwill, everyone matters.”
“Everyone matters.”
Grill Family. From Left to Right: Stephen, Zachary, Matthew, Joanne,
Joshua, Maria.
To support and raise funds for Goodwill, Maria Grill and her mother-in-law, Joanne, became models in the spring fundraiser, the
Goodwill Runway Show. The reason for their participation: Maria’s twin boys Zachary and Joshua, who both face the challenge of having a disability.
Maria and her husband Stephen raised Zachary and Joshua, now 19. They were born three months premature and weighed just 1.5 pounds each. Maria described, “It was heartbreaking for my husband and me to see our babies in those little glass boxes. But they have grown into young men and are a celebration of life.”
Zachary is legally blind and has Asperger’s Syndrome, and his twin brother Joshua has cerebral palsy. She noted, “As parents of children with disabilities, we are always looking for resources to help them grow and enjoy life. You want them to have opportunities.”
to them. They know that when their clothes no longer fit, they will be delivered to Goodwill. And they understand the Goodwill mission and know that they are helping to provide work opportunities to people facing obstacles.
WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT GOODWILL?I want people to know that although the term “Goodwill” has almost become a household name (like Kleenex or Coke) for donating gently used items, it is so much more. I hope they will choose to donate their items to Goodwill because they have come to realize that they are providing hope, dignity, purpose and a paycheck to “good” people that must overcome challenges every day.
Katie serves on the Goodwill Keystone Area Board and the fundraising committee for the event Goodwill Treasures.
WHY DO YOU SUPPORT GOODWILL?I strongly believe in the mission and believe it’s terribly under-recognized. Many people only know Goodwill as a place that collects donations or sells gently used items. People don’t understand how the stores provide the financial support for the training, educating and employment of so many people that face challenges.
HOW DO YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF DONATING AND HELPING OTHERS? My children are fortunate and they are very aware of that. My husband and I want them to understand the importance of helping others and we hope it becomes second nature

the PA Veterinary Laboratory Building and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Her supervisor Russell Negley noted, “We can count on Lavena, and she is always willing to help others.”
Her character, personal fortitude and work ethic that she exhibits while living and working with a disability caught the attention of her supervisor and peers. Lavena was recognized for her life and work accomplishments at the Nettie Mann Achievement Awards Dinner held by UniqueSource, formerly known as PIBH. Lavena said, “Because of Goodwill, I’m an award winner. It’s so important to me.”
Lavena took charge of her life. She participated in a Goodwill assessment program so she could gain a better understanding of her abilities, goals, and interests. Lavena noted, “I needed help with direction.” At the same time, she
completed her GED. She said, “Somebody gave me a chance and I kept going. People at Goodwill gave me guidance.”
After her assessment, she began in a Goodwill paid training program. She immediately showed people that she was a hard worker and overall, she wanted to do a good job. Because of Lavena’s accomplishments and work ethic, she graduated from the training program and was hired as a Goodwill employee. She works for a Goodwill Custodial Crew at
“I am anawardwinner.”
Lavena celebrates the feeling of
independence.

When launched, the Good Careers Start Here Program will provide individuals with the opportunity to earn their general equivalency diploma (GED), a certificate in a technical field, or a two-year associate’s degree to prepare them for a higher paying, high demand job in the community.
Through our social enterprise of stores and business services, Goodwill Keystone Area is able to provide entry-level positions to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment. However, for many of these individuals, despite their hard
work and dedication, the lack of a formal education is a barrier to advancing to a higher paying job and self-sufficiency.
Our mission can go beyond simply helping individuals find a job. The long-term goal is to transition people beyond Goodwill into a meaningful career that will allow them to “break out” of the poverty cycle and earn a family-sustaining salary.
Good Careers Start Here.

We make every attempt to keep items out of landfills and ask the community to donate gently-used items to Goodwill. These donations are sold in our stores and the profit further funds our mission. Donations provide the fuel that drives this social enterprise, as it did over a century ago.
Goodwill is featured on Forbes.com in an article entitled The Most Important Social Enterprise in 2013. The article discusses how Goodwill has existed as a
social enterprise for more than 100 years. We hold ourselves accountable to our performance, the people we serve, the community, and the planet.
Goodwill Keystone Area provides job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people who have disabilities and barriers to independence.

they serve as training centers and provide opportunities for people to learn job and social skills.
We make every attempt to keep items out of landfills and ask the community to donate gently-used items to Goodwill. These donations are sold in our stores and the profit further funds our mission. Donations provide the fuel that drives this social enterprise, as it did over a century ago.
Goodwill is featured on Forbes.com in an article entitled The Most Important Social Enterprise in 2013. The article discusses how Goodwill has existed as a
social enterprise for more than 100 years. We hold ourselves accountable to our performance, the people we serve, the community, and the planet.
Goodwill Keystone Area provides job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people who have disabilities and barriers to independence. In addition to traditional fees and grants from government, we are funded by our network of thrift stores and business services. Additionally,
Goodwill as a Social Enterprise
Each year, companies throughout our 22 Pennsylvania county service area hire people who come to Goodwill to learn job skills. Goodwill offers assessment, employment education and personal development that prepare people for a career.

When launched, the Good Careers Start Here Program will provide individuals with the opportunity to earn their general equivalency diploma (GED), a certificate in a technical field, or a two-year associate’s degree to prepare them for a higher paying, high demand job in the community.
Through our social enterprise of stores and business services, Goodwill Keystone Area is able to provide entry-level positions to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment. However, for many of these individuals, despite their hard
work and dedication, the lack of a formal education is a barrier to advancing to a higher paying job and self-sufficiency.
Our mission can go beyond simply helping individuals find a job. The long-term goal is to transition people beyond Goodwill into a meaningful career that will allow them to “break out” of the poverty cycle and earn a family-sustaining salary.
Good Careers Start Here.

the PA Veterinary Laboratory Building and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Her supervisor Russell Negley noted, “We can count on Lavena, and she is always willing to help others.”
Her character, personal fortitude and work ethic that she exhibits while living and working with a disability caught the attention of her supervisor and peers. Lavena was recognized for her life and work accomplishments at the Nettie Mann Achievement Awards Dinner held by UniqueSource, formerly known as PIBH. Lavena said, “Because of Goodwill, I’m an award winner. It’s so important to me.”
Lavena took charge of her life. She participated in a Goodwill assessment program so she could gain a better understanding of her abilities, goals, and interests. Lavena noted, “I needed help with direction.” At the same time, she
completed her GED. She said, “Somebody gave me a chance and I kept going. People at Goodwill gave me guidance.”
After her assessment, she began in a Goodwill paid training program. She immediately showed people that she was a hard worker and overall, she wanted to do a good job. Because of Lavena’s accomplishments and work ethic, she graduated from the training program and was hired as a Goodwill employee. She works for a Goodwill Custodial Crew at

The Grills learned about Goodwill’s Summer Youth Employment Program and thought it was a good fit for Zachary. This program gives young adults the chance to learn work and social skills while earning a paycheck. “It was uplifting for us to meet the program manager, Joyce Burkholder. She is wonderful and has a disability herself,” described Maria. Joyce taught Zachary that a person with a disability can have a job and be successful. She expressed, “As a parent, I am so grateful for Goodwill because it taught him communication and accountability. Learning that he could work was life-changing for Zachary.”
Stephen said, “We are blessed to have three boys and a close family.” Maria added, “We do our best to support Goodwill. Because of Goodwill, everyone matters.”
“Everyone matters.”
Grill Family. From Left to Right: Stephen, Zachary, Matthew, Joanne,
Joshua, Maria.
To support and raise funds for Goodwill, Maria Grill and her mother-in-law, Joanne, became models in the spring fundraiser, the
Goodwill Runway Show. The reason for their participation: Maria’s twin boys Zachary and Joshua, who both face the challenge of having a disability.
Maria and her husband Stephen raised Zachary and Joshua, now 19. They were born three months premature and weighed just 1.5 pounds each. Maria described, “It was heartbreaking for my husband and me to see our babies in those little glass boxes. But they have grown into young men and are a celebration of life.”
Zachary is legally blind and has Asperger’s Syndrome, and his twin brother Joshua has cerebral palsy. She noted, “As parents of children with disabilities, we are always looking for resources to help them grow and enjoy life. You want them to have opportunities.”
to them. They know that when their clothes no longer fit, they will be delivered to Goodwill. And they understand the Goodwill mission and know that they are helping to provide work opportunities to people facing obstacles.
WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT GOODWILL?I want people to know that although the term “Goodwill” has almost become a household name (like Kleenex or Coke) for donating gently used items, it is so much more. I hope they will choose to donate their items to Goodwill because they have come to realize that they are providing hope, dignity, purpose and a paycheck to “good” people that must overcome challenges every day.
Katie serves on the Goodwill Keystone Area Board and the fundraising committee for the event Goodwill Treasures.
WHY DO YOU SUPPORT GOODWILL?I strongly believe in the mission and believe it’s terribly under-recognized. Many people only know Goodwill as a place that collects donations or sells gently used items. People don’t understand how the stores provide the financial support for the training, educating and employment of so many people that face challenges.
HOW DO YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF DONATING AND HELPING OTHERS? My children are fortunate and they are very aware of that. My husband and I want them to understand the importance of helping others and we hope it becomes second nature

This farm links the trainee farmer to real-world business. Trainees learn how to organically grow, harvest, and sell fruits and vegetables. Glenn is a trainee who works at this farm. He enjoys working outside, being with his friends at the farm, and takes pride in growing the crops. He said, “I like it when I get to meet our shareholders and they buy the fruits and vegetables that I grow.”
People can support this program by purchasing a share. Each week, from June to November, shareholders can come to the farm and select from the harvest.
Goodwill at Homefields Farm, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, produces more than 45 different fruits and vegetables while supporting people with disabilities.
Homefields, a non-profit organization, is the owner of a 23-acre farm in Lancaster County. Homefields is dedicated to creating new life options for people with disabilities, and the volunteer board raises funds to support both the vocational and residential programs on the farm property. In 2000, Goodwill joined Homefields in providing horticultural job opportunities for people with disabilities.
“I have great friends and a great job.”
Glenn is proud of the pumpkin
that he grew.
