Goodwill Easter Seals - Initiative Foundation

With 369,149 Veterans plus an additional 13,137 Soldiers and Airmen serving in Minnesota, the need for military services in a community is clear. While there are many effective military programs in St. Cloud, Goodwill Easter Seals Minnesota has identified several service gaps which we are working to eliminate. Our Military Services program strives to help all service members and their families regardless of military or veteran status. At Goodwill Easter Seals, we envision a world in which everyone experiences the power of work. Our mission is to eliminate barriers to work and independence. Our areas of focus for our program are helping service members find employment, mental health practitioners, homes for the homeless and ongoing, long-term support through individualized case management. We also help service members identify and find the services they qualify for in our community to holistically help each person. Goodwill Easter Seals was named Disability Nonprofit Brand of the Year by the 2015 Harris Poll EquiTrend Study. Come serve with us and help build capacity for our Military Services!
