Goodwill works to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals and families by strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and helping people in need, through learning and the power of work. Every person has the opportunity to achieve his/her fullest potential and participate in and contribute to all aspects of life. With that idea in mind Goodwill has partnered with ABC-13 to unveil a new series that highlights individuals who are striving to be the best that they can be and excelling, through the help of Goodwill's employment programs. Each month a different Goodwill employee, client, volunteer or donor will be featured and will share their story on how Goodwill changed their life. This month, we are highlighting Max. Read his profile and view his video below to learn more about how Goodwill changed his life.

Meet Max -- Success Story of the Month

After serving eight years in the military, Max struggled to keep a job. He began to become depressed, feeling like he was digging himself into a hole, with no idea what to do. Then, he found Goodwill's Veteran's Job Connection Center. They helped Max get on his feet, and made an effort to understand his story and skills. Max's life was changed through the power of work and Goodwill's mission.
