Three local foundations have donated funds in support of Goodwill Manasota’s Supported JobsPlus program, which aims to employ individuals with physical, developmental and psychiatric disabilities. Goodwill recently received grants from the Jelks Family Foundation, the Mae and James Hazelton Charity and Trust, and the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota to support the SJP program.
