Goodwill’s Defiance Job Connection Center Navigator Amy Bach provided valuable resources at the Defiance Operation Bridge event hosted at the Defiance Mall.  Bridge is operated by the Defiance narcotics unit.  The purpose of the event is to provide a coalition to bring agencies together to help individuals enter back successfully into the community. Amy was able to provide workforce development and wrap-around services to participants.

Caleb is not just working at Meijer, he is also thriving in his role in shipping and receiving! Caleb was referred to Goodwill by Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) and has found his fit at Meijer. Staying active and moving around is a big benefit of the job, and it’s clear he’s found a great match. His enthusiasm for his work is infectious, and it is terrific to see him succeeding in an environment that suits him so well.

Caleb’s story reminds us that when individuals are placed in roles where they can be their best, everyone benefits!

Way to go Caleb!
