More Than a Thrift Store | Providing opportunities to those with barriers to employment
Über uns
Goodwill Industries of Kansas, Inc.’s mission is to provide opportunities to people with disabilities and barriers to employment seeking independent and productive lives. We work to fulfill our mission through several services to the community serving two populations: those with developmental disabilities and those with other employment barriers. Part of an international brand, Goodwill locations across the globe are operated and led autonomously based on community need – but all use the power of work to provide purpose, pride, and dignity to those they serve. Revenue from the sale of donated goods at Goodwill's nineteen stores in Kansas and an online auction site, shopgoodwill.com/ks, provide the majority of the funding for our mission programs.

In 2021, Rikki joined the NexStep Alliance Re-Entry program. Her journey proves that sometimes all you need is a second chance. Through early motherhood, grief, and multiple probation periods, she found hope and support with the guidance of Judy Reusser, NexStep Alliance Re-Entry Coordinator. Rikki earned her high school diploma with NexStep Alliance and CNC certificate through WSU Tech. She is now planning on earning her bachelor's degree in social work, she proves that the past does not define the future. #MoreThanAThriftStore #ReEntry Read her story: https://loom.ly/dv4Dn-Q
