Goodwill gets donation from credit union
Goodwill Industries of the Conemaugh Valley Inc. received a donation from the USSCO Federal Credit Union as part of USSCO’s annual giving program to local charities that support children and families.
Each of USSCO’s four branch locations had the opportunity to select an organization within its own community. USSCO’s Moxham branch selected Goodwill because of the many services the organization provides to youth such as mentoring, on-the-job training, and career and education guidance.
Goodwill will use the donation to support its GoodGuides youth mentoring program that matches adult volunteer mentors with youth ages 12 to 17.
The program creates a support system for youth to build positive relationships with adult role models in the community and provides youth with opportunities to gain the skills to succeed in high school, postsecondary education/training programs and future careers.
