Since 2001, GOOD+ Foundation has provided a safety net of social services, education, goods, and support for families working toward financial stability. The organization partners with a network of the top anti-poverty programs across the country to help incentivize parents to reach their goals — like getting their GED or enrolling into community college, participating in job training, or taking parenting classes. Through the goods plus the services, GOOD+ helps to meet the immediate health and safety needs of children, while giving parents the dignity and skills they need to rise out of poverty.
