Jackson Therapy Goes Green for Goodwill


 Now through September, Jackson Therapy Partners' Going Green Committee is challenging associates to reduce, reuse and re-purpose by donating gently used clothing, toys and other items to help someone in need through Goodwill.

The company's goal is to collect a minimum of 400 items; which can provide approximately 60 hours of counseling for people in need. The counseling is provided in a number of areas including on-the-job training, financial counseling, mental health etc.

Goodwill’s Mission
Goodwill Industries International enhances the dignity and quality of life of individuals, families and communities by eliminating barriers to opportunity and helping people in need reach their fullest potential through the power of work.
