In this episode of the Good News Pod, we recognize the Goodwill team for their hard work in recovering from Hurricane Helene and reaffirm our commitment to support the efforts of local relief agencies through collaborative partnerships. We welcome McKennah, who shares her experiences in her new role on the Marketing Team (and the Pod Squad!). Meredith Champagne, Vice President of Strategy and Executive Director of the AbilityOne program, discusses National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and why it's vital to Goodwill's mission. We also dive into Halloween fun with DIY projects and chat about our favorite Goodwill moments from the past month.
