But Joe’s journey to the Human Resources department was not a straight line. He started within retail as an Assistant Manager, displaying motivation and a profound connection to our mission, to land in his current role.

In early 2022, Joe and his family made the decision to relocate to Wichita. Faced with the urgent need for stable income and benefits to care for his daughter, who was born with Intractable Epilepsy, Joe knew he had to establish a new foothold.

Among all his applications, it was Goodwill that responded first.
