DETROIT, MI – With one of its largest donations to date, the Detroit Lions granted Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit $150,000 to support its Operation Good Jobs program, which helps military veterans and their families find employment through career planning, training, job placement and other services. The veterans served through this grant will be placed in a transitional career opportunity at Red Truck Fresh Produce.
Red Truck Fresh Produce, which opened this week, is a collaboration between three nonprofit organizations, Eastern Market Corporation, the corporation that operates Detroit's historic Eastern Market, Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit and Community Growth Partnership (CGP), which focuses on uniting businesses, labor and communities.
