Ohio Valley Goodwill Celebrates 2016 Community Recognition Award Recipients!

Ohio Valley Goodwill was pleased to be in attendance at the 2016 Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities Community Recognition Awards event on Thursday, April 7th. Held at the Savannah Center, the annual event is designed to recognize the contributions of community members to the successful integration of people with developmental disabilities as well as to celebrate the personal achievements of the individuals and families served by the Board. Goodwill was particularly elated because two members of the organization’s Employment Services team were recognized at this year’s event. Matt Burnheimer, Employment Services Supervisor, and Michael Johnson, Community Services Manager, were singled out for community recognition due to their outstanding efforts to assist individuals served by the Board to become fully involved in their local community- both socially as well as through employment.

Goodwill has worked in partnership with the Butler County Board of DD for more than 10 years in providing employment and training services for adults with developmental disabilities and has a satellite vocational services center located at Route 4 and Symmes road in Fairfield, immediately adjacent to the organization’s Fairfield store location. In addition, the organization offers a number of popular community-based services including its Community Access program and Community Living Supports Program www.cincinnatigoodwill.org/services as well as its Employment Services program www.goodwillemploymentservices.com. Ohio Valley Goodwill congratulates Michael and Matt on their Community Recognition awards at the 2016 Butler County Board of DD Awards dinner event.
