In July, Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa received a $36,500 grant from The Walmart Foundation and its State Giving Program.
The money will be used to buy 20 laptop computers and a charging cart for Goodwill’s Career Connection Center in Johnston, and supporting materials including books, flash drives and clothing vouchers for Goodwill’s other Centers, in Des Moines and Newton.
Goodwill’s Career Connection Centers provide free resume writing, job search and application assistance, interviewing and career planning for anyone looking for employment. In addition, the Centers provide numerous classes to assist job searchers with soft skills to improve their employability.
