**Goodwill Industries**. Yeah, that’s Goodwill.

They don’t just take in used clothes, furniture and re-sell them. Goodwill provides job training, searching and placement services for those who have been out of the job market for any number of reasons. There are fantastic people working for Goodwill, and fantastic people being helped by them.

**Catholic Charities** and **Planned Parenthood**. These two may seem to be at odds, but I am a strong supporter of the right to choose, which is where Planned Parenthood comes into play.

Catholic Charities in my area provides shelter, counseling, etc to the homeless, to victims of violence and to people who are struggling with various things in their lives.
