01 Sep Charles’s Story

Charles had been an industry supervisor most of his life. After retirement, he decided he needed something else to keep him going.

Charles had been looking for work for six months yet, with all of his experience, he couldn’t find a job. He stopped by the Career Solutions center in Jackson and, weeks later, Goodwill hired him as a DEC attendant.

Today, Charles is one of the first smiling faces our donors see when they visit the Donation Express Center on West University Parkway in Jackson.

“Coming to Goodwill is one of the best moves I have ever made,” he says. “I love everything about this job.”
