Goodwill’s whole purpose is to hire people with handicaps. I ran a group home at one point where most of our people went to work in one of their sheltered workshops - that is, a place for people who couldn’t even deal with public contact. But we had one resident who was more able and he worked with the public. A nice guy and a good employee, but just somebody who wasn’t quite up to coping with decisions on his own.
Our local Publix hires a lot of folks like this as baggers, and they’re wonderful and helpful.
I agree with that, we know a family and one of the children is legally blind, he gets by with thick frames, real nice guy, goes to the shooting range even but he can’t drive a car and he was able to get a job at Salvation Army, so I do think some of these outfits, thrift-like stores help out. Undoubtedly, they might get some down-and-outers but SA does some sort of criminal background check.
