Spread the sparkle.

Sparkle. A piece of advice I was given last week sparked a new outlook on life.

A lady from my hometown complimented me on the outfit I was wearing at the time. Of course I was dressed head-to-toe in thrifty finds. After I gave my spiel of why I shop at Goodwill, she looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Never let anyone dull your sparkle.”

Those six words have lingered in the back of mind. Friday, I attended Customer Appreciation Day at the Ring Road store in Elizabethtown, and I made it a point to glance around the store. I found several sparkly items that reminded of the kind lady’s comment. All the shimmery merchandise was unique; each piece was bold and striking.

I can’t help but wonder if people who wear their Goodwill finds proudly – as well as those who work tirelessly for the nonprofit – glimmer like those Candie’s heels did. Whatever the case may be, remember you sparkle.

We help people with disabilities or other disadvantages achieve and maintain employment to gain a better quality of life.

what we do

Goodwill collects and sells donated items to fund programs for Kentuckians who have disabilities or other challenges in finding and maintaining traditional employment. On-the-job training, job preparation skills, and employment counseling are just a few of Goodwill's services that benefit thousands of adults each year and strengthen families in Kentucky's communities.
