A stunning new landmark is officially brightening Whitehall. Goodwill Columbus, CASTO, and the City of Whitehall gathered yesterday to unveil a 3,800-square-foot mural at the historic Miracle Mile shopping center.

What makes this project so special is the powerful collaboration behind it. Five talented artists from the Goodwill Columbus Art Studio—Christopher Cole, Larken Janson-Tidd, Andrea Kontras, Charlotte McGraw, and Nicole Vance—worked directly with muralist Sarah Eberly, sharing their sketches, ideas, and unique creative visions to shape the final design.

As Goodwill artist Charlotte McGraw beautifully shared, "People with disabilities, no matter what type of disability they have, can do anything they put their minds to. Hopefully, when people see the mural, they will want to come into the Studio to see everyone’s artwork."

The Studio is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM at 50 Robinwood Avenue in Whitehall.

Thank you to Michael T. Bivens, CASTO Partner Eric Leibowitz, our CEO Ryan D. Burgess, Sarah Eberly, and everyone who joined us for the open house celebration.

It was an inspiring afternoon celebrating excellence at last Friday’s Ohio Provider Resource Association luncheon.

Congratulations to both Kathy and Dywan! Thank you for the extraordinary dedication you bring to Goodwill Columbus every single day. 💙

🏃‍♀️What a year at the

For the 16th year in a row, our Goodwill Columbus team was out before sunrise, and ready to help make race day a success. Within the first mile of the race, our team collected nearly 15,000 pounds of clothing, helping divert textile waste from the landfill while supporting Goodwill's mission here in Central Ohio.

A huge thank you to our hardworking staff and volunteers who made it all happen. We couldn't do it without you, and we can't wait to do it all again next year! 💙🙌

Meet Noha. 💙

Noha came to our Hilliard Goodwill in 2012 as a newly single mom searching for stability for her daughter. It was her first job, and she was simply hoping for a chance.

Her hard work spoke for itself. Over time, she stepped into each new role and eventually became Store Manager at the same store where she got her start.

Today, Noha leads with heart, empathy, and the power of second chances.
“Goodwill believed in me. Now I get to do the same for others.”
