Welcome from Mark Sherman our President/CEO
Welcome to Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain! Whether you’re looking for services, exploring resources, or curious about our Goodwill stores, you’re in the right place.
As a proud, independent affiliate of both Easterseals Inc. and Goodwill Industries International, we combine the strength of two nationally respected nonprofit networks to provide comprehensive services and resources in our four state region: Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. This dual affiliation allows us to offer the best of both worlds: the person-centered care and advocacy of Easterseals, and the job creation, training, and community reinvestment of Goodwill.
Through these powerful partnerships and partnership in our communities, Easterseals-Goodwill delivers a broad range of programs—from behavioral health and children’s services to disability support and employment training. And our Goodwill retail stores play a vital role in this mission, serving not only as affordable shopping destinations and donation centers, but also for providing funding and job training in the communities we serve.
Here on our website, you can:
- Explore our programs and find support near you
- Learn how shopping and donating to Goodwill makes a difference
- Discover ways to give back—through donations and advocacy
- Stay informed with news and stories from across our four-state region
As President/CEO, I’m proud to lead an organization built on innovation, compassion, and impact. What drives me—and our entire team—is the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. Every day, we work to create opportunities for people to live more independent, fulfilling lives—and it all starts with connections like yours.
Take a look around, reach out if you have questions, and know that we’re here to help however we can. Thank you for visiting. We look forward to serving you.
