July 27, 2010 Goodwill Announces New Store and Job Connection in Boiling Springs A new but familiar name will be coming to Boiling Springs in August: Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina has announced plans to open a Goodwill store at 3585 Boiling Springs Rd (Hwy 9) on August 19th. The new facility will include a Goodwill store, donation center, and Goodwill Job Connection. At Goodwill Job Connections, trained employment specialists provide assistance to help job seekers connect with potential employers and find employment, all free of charge. Access to computers and the internet, fax machines, telephones, and job listings is provided. Job seekers can work independently if they prefer or receive help from the employment specialist on site. “Ultimately, Goodwill’s mission is to provide the support people need to become independent, contributing citizens in our community,” said Patrick Michaels, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands SC. “The Job Connection makes it easy for someone to find employment opportunities and receive guidance to make their efforts most effective.” The Grand Opening for the Goodwill store and Job Connection is scheduled for August 19th. The donation center is currently open and accepting donations. A donation center attendant is on-site from 8am – 6pm Monday through Saturday and 1pm – 6pm on Sunday to assist donors and provide them with a donation receipt for tax purposes. Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina helps people with disabilities and special needs become independent citizens through education, training, and employment leading to job placement. In the past year, Goodwill assisted 23,376 people in their quest for independence and created a potential economic impact of over $71 million through the wages of the 4,372 people placed into employment.
