ANOTHER WAY DONATION PORTAL

To help reduce panhandling and give individuals at stoplights and other rights of way a new, more effective way of giving to those experiencing poverty, Goodwill and its Another Way program have set up a donation portal that will support the Another Way program’s efforts. The Another Way program currently operates in Louisville and Bowling Green. 

WHAT IS ANOTHER WAY?

Another Way program leaders use Goodwill transportation to canvass highly trafficked areas, such as homeless shelters, highways, byways and street corners, pick up willing workers and take them to worksites around the city for four hours of work. In return, the participants earn $50, lunch and an introduction to the internal and external barrier-reduction resources at Goodwill’s Louisville and Bowling Green Opportunity Centers.

What began as a pilot program in 2019 has grown into a resource that has served more than 4,000 individuals. It has connected 2,791 individuals to self-sufficiency resources, transported 278 individuals to substance abuse/mental health treatment facilities, placed 572 in temporary-to-permanent housing and helped 361 find employment. 

Louisville Metro and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield are sponsors of the Another Way program.
