“Stamford has been a wonderful supporter of Goodwill, and we’re thrilled to be able to open this second location in the city. We’re determined to helping Connecticut residents achieve greater self-sufficiency and independence through job training and other support services. This second location in Stamford aids that mission, employing more than 65 people from the community,” said Vickie Volpano, President and CEO, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut.
