In 2008, the Center partnered with Goodwill Columbus and transitioned the administration of the Clothing Closet to Goodwill Columbus. This collaboration between NDCC and Goodwill allowed for the expansion of operating hours for the Closet from 18 hrs./wk. to more than 60 hrs./wk, with growth opportunities at multiple locations. This transition also allowed the Center to focus solely on the achievement of its core mission. During 2008, the Center, with funding from the Van Degna Foundation, developed and began delivering a financial literacy program for our clients.
