Goodwill Changes Its Name
News Date: 03/21/2012
Outlet Full Name: Colorado Springs Business Journal - Online, The
Contact Name: Amanda Miller
Goodwill Industries of Colorado Springs has changed its name to Discover Goodwill of Southern and Western Colorado.
The new name better represents the organization's expanded mission and regional presence, according to a press release.
“We're no longer just within Colorado Springs,” said Goodwill spokesman Bradd Hafer. “We're in 38 of 64 counties in Colorado.”
The organization has offices and retail stores in cities from Grand Junction to Cañon City and beyond, Hafer said.
“That Colorado Springs tag was just too limited,” he said.
The new name is unique to this region. No other Goodwill offices have adopted the Discover name. But the name change doesn't indicate any split from the parent organization, Goodwill Industries International, Hafer said. The new logo continues to incorporate the parent company's smiling G and to embody its overarching mission.
The word “discover” in the name “invites individuals to actively explore and participate in Goodwill's many human service programs,” according to the release.
Hafer said many people in the community associate Goodwill with its retail stores and drop off location, but know nothing about the work the organization does to help the disadvantaged.
The new name is the result of more than a year of research and investigation, Hafer said.
Flexible employment options
for changing times
Goodwill Staffing helps you weather the ups and downs of seasonal demands, changes in production and tight deadlines. Our pool of available employees is ready to help you with everything from computer support to food service, landscaping to nursing. If we don’t already have employees with the skills you need, we’ll recruit them.
Partnership puts those in need back to work
Goodwill Staffing is proud to be the Department of Human Services’ partner in putting people to work. We help welfare recipients find jobs, assisting those who’ve fallen on hard times and saving thousands of taxpayer dollars that would have otherwise gone to the unemployed.
The partnership began with Goodwill Industries in 1989. Staff noticed a trend: businesses and individuals were using staffing agencies to try each other out, looking for a good employer-employee fit before committing to permanent employment. Goodwill thought this was such an effective model that it started its own agency, Goodwill Staffing, in 1998.
Although we were created to help Goodwill’s case managers find jobs for those receiving food stamps, welfare and other assistance, we grew to serve the needs of the local business community as well as those unemployed or under-employed in hopes of by-passing public assistance.
