It’s about more than operating second-hand stores. Goodwill Industries also exists to provide employment and training for people with different abilities.

Goodwill of Western Missouri & Eastern Kansas is sponsoring a series of job fairs and workforce training sessions this week at its GoodWorks Career Resource Centers in Kansas City, Liberty and St. Joseph.

Details about its “Goodwill Week” are posted at mokangoodwill.org/events. Check the schedule because days, times and events vary by location.
