Something new to celebrate: We learned that Goodwill was named the Disability Nonprofit Brand of the Year as part of the 2015 Harris Poll EquiTrend Study, an annual brand equity study released last week.
The study, which surveyed more than 38,000 Americans, ranked consumer awareness and perception of charitable nonprofit organizations.

We at Goodwill of Central Iowa are proud of our work to help people overcome the challenges they face when seeking employment. We work with clients who may have disabilities, lack of education or work experience, or other factors that make it difficult for them to find a job and build a career. Our staff members work with people to help develop their employment skills so they can get their lives back on track and advance their careers.
Last year, Goodwill of Central Iowa helped place 565 people in competitive jobs in this area, and we are already on track in 2015 to beat that record, with more than 230 clients placed in jobs so far.
