Resources were also available for people looking for housing, veteran services, education, etc.

“This is Goodwill Week. During Goodwill Week, we always do a large event. This is the largest, however, that we’ve ever been able to host. With the Partnership and support of our partners in the community like WTVM as well as the Trade Center. This is the largest space we’ve ever had access to, and the biggest opportunity that we’ve ever had to be able to bring a hundred vendors together is really a big deal,” said Goodwill Career Center Manager Denise Eckley.
