Darrell's Story

Meet Darrell

In early 2014 Darrell received placement help and job coaching from Goodwill for a dishwasher position at a Bob Evans restaurant. But our services didn’t stop there. In May 2015, Bob Evans restaurant closed and Darrell was suddenly unemployed. He put in a few applications but received no calls for an interview.

Cheers to Darrell who now works in the restaurant industry!

He did and was welcomed with open arms. By July, Darrell was working at Ryan’s Buffet restaurant. And, two months later, he was promoted to lead dishwasher and now sets the pace for four other employees. We’re proud of you, Darrell, and we’re always here if you need us!

“I need to go back to Goodwill,” Darrell said.

Employment is More Than a Paycheck

It’s a resounding victory: for the individual, for their family, for their community. When jobs thrive, communities thrive.
