Every night, Gulfstream Goodwill Industries provides a safe place to stay for 300 people who would otherwise be on the streets. To raise the funds needed to support its homeless shelters and programs, Goodwill is speeding into town Presidents’ Day weekend for the second annual The Gulfstream: Drive to Provide fundraiser in downtown West Palm Beach.
“Many people know Goodwill for its thrift stores, but the organization is so much more,” emphasized GL Homes President Misha Ezratti. “Since 2015, GL Homes has provided Gulfstream Goodwill clients with Good Night’s Sleep furniture packages for people transitioning from the Lewis Center to independent living. Through Home at Tamarind, GL Homes built affordable housing for developmentally and physically disabled clients who were at-risk of homelessness. Collaborative projects like these change lives for the better.”
“I don’t think our community realizes how much Gulfstream Goodwill does to care for people experiencing homelessness,” stated GL Homes Vice President of Community Relations Sarah Alsofrom. “Goodwill is the largest homeless provider within a five-county region. The organization is unmatched in the impact it makes to eliminate homelessness.”
