Jennifer’s Dream

Jennifer’s passion began in her grandmother’s kitchen and flourished when she enrolled in the culinary program at Goodwill’s Helms College. Now working at Savannah Lakes Resort & Marina and launching her personal chef business, she exemplifies how your support turns dreams into reality and strengthens our community.

Why We Need Your Support Now

Our Goal: We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, 2024, to expand job training, education programs, employment support, and community sustainability programs. These funds will directly impact individuals and families, helping them achieve stability and success.

Why Now Matters: Over 10,000 people rely on Goodwill’s services annually to overcome barriers to employment. Without your support, families like Sarah’s and Jennifer’s face delays in their journey to independence and financial security. Your donation today fuels immediate impact in our community.
