This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain supports individuals and families across Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. They offer programs that foster independence, expand opportunity, and empower people to reach their potential. Director of Communications, Shanna Endow, joins us with more.
Shanna Endow:
Goodwill has been serving communities for more than 120 years, built on the belief that donated goods can provide a hand up not a handout.
Here in the greater Salt Lake City metro area, we have six Goodwill stores and one Outlet that carry that legacy forward by embracing circular sustainability, keeping items in use longer, reducing waste, and offering affordable options for families. Each donation and purchase supports a cycle of good: extending the life of resources, funding local jobs, and creating opportunities for individuals overcoming barriers to employment.
It’s a model where nothing goes to waste — whether it’s clothing, household goods, or human potential.
Goodwill isn’t just a store; it’s a partnership with the community. By donating, shopping, and supporting, you help strengthen this cycle of impact — one that uplifts people, protects the planet, and builds a stronger future for Utah. Together, we create opportunities that change lives.
Derek Miller:
In Utah, Easterseals-Goodwill is strengthening communities by empowering people with the tools and support they need to succeed. Their work creates opportunities, builds independence, and ensures families across the state have brighter, more hopeful futures. I’m Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
