Hello Team Goodwill Columbus,
Happy May! We have a lot to celebrate and talk about this month.
Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a good time to take care of yourself and check in with how you’re feeling. It’s okay to ask for help when you need it. We all go through hard times, and you are not alone. If you ever feel sad, stressed, or overwhelmed, there are people who care and want to help. You can find a list of support services, including the mental health hotline number, in the Good Vibes newsletter. We also have an amazing Family Strengthening office that can help you navigate life’s challenges, too. Please take a look, it’s there for you.
Mother’s Day is Coming Up!
Don’t forget— this coming Sunday is Mother’s Day! It’s a perfect time to show gratitude and say “thank you” to the moms, grandmas, and mother figures in our lives. If you’re looking for a special gift, remember you can use your employee discount to find something thoughtful in our stores. Thrifted gifts are unique and full of love. You might find a great book, some jewelry, or a cute mug that will make Mom smile!
Thank You to Our Service Members
Later this month, we will observe Memorial Day on May 26th. This is a time to remember and honor the brave people who have served in the military and allowed us to enjoy the remarkable freedoms in our country. We want to send a big THANK YOU to all the veterans and service members who are part of our Goodwill Columbus team. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are grateful for your service.
Let’s make May a month of kindness, caring, and connection—both with each other and with the people in our lives. Let’s live our ICARE values every day. You make a big difference, and I am proud to have you as part of the Goodwill Columbus family.
