An act of kindness can make a difference in many lives. Loren, Assistant Manager, at our Mitchell store, graciously donated cancer t-shirts for the St. Wilfrid Catholic Church ladies to quilt for cancer patients at the local Cancer Institute. These quilts are a much needed comfort to the cancer patients and encourage them to keep on fighting.
Terry, Direct Support Staff
Before she came to Goodwill, Terry worked in a meat processing factory, retirement home, insurance company, and in the school system. Terry appreciated her time in all her roles, but needed a position that would give her purpose and a chance to make a difference.
Terry decided to explore her options by attending a Job Fair in North Sioux City. She met with a staff member from Goodwill to talk about open job positions and learned about the impact they play in the community. Integrated Day Services had a position open and this was exactly the position that Terry was looking for.
For Terry, her job is rewarding daily. She loves to interact with the participants and work with them to achieve goals. She encourages them to try new things and be more active. “Integrated Day Services is an important program for these individuals, ” Terry emphasized.
Terry enjoys working in Integrated Services every day and making the participants laugh and encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone. Terry believes, “It’s all about balance. You must be stern with them, but give support when needed. It goes a long way.”
