Day 12: Amber enrolled in Goodwill’s Pathway Home Reentry Program as she transitioned back to civilian life after 20 years in prison. Through the Pathway Home program, Amber received clothing, a tablet for her studies, and Lyft vouchers to help her get to and from work. She completed a welding apprenticeship funded by the Pathway Home Grant through a local Goodwill partner and is now a professional welder in a well-paying industry. Congratulations, Amber!

We place thousands of South Carolinians like Amber into meaningful employment and skills training programs each year. Goodwill’s programs provide access to important resources to overcome barriers big and small. We are a locally operated non-profit that – through your support – can continue to extend “Goodwill to all.” You can support our Goodwill by going to goodwillsc.org/give-online/, donating gently used goods at a donation center, shopping in any one of our 40 retail stores or Auten’s Loft boutique, or simply by sharing this post with others.
