S3E1: New Year, New Ways to Access Services

Happy New Year! It’s a new season of the What’s Good, Goodwill? podcast. Alicia and Michelle pulled in Clark Brekke, Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest president and CEO, and Jennifer Snow, Housing and Essential Needs program manager to chat about Goodwill in 2024.

In 2023, we shared David’s success story. Alicia had an opportunity to sit down with David to find out what he has been up to since we last saw him as one of our 2023 Independence Award winners.

Continue the cycle for good by sharing our podcast on social media and subscribing wherever you listen to podcasts.
