Gary Peoples was named Goodwill Industries International's Tommy Moore Veteran of the Year for 2024. Gary's faith in God is strong. Combined with his former military training in the U.S. Army, he found the focus, discipline and motivation he needed to create a better life for himself and his family. After serving in the army, he turned to a life of drugs and crime and eventually ended up in prison. Eventually, with the support of Goodwill Houston’s employment and training programs for veterans, and through his own determination, hard work and faith, he was able to turn his life around and find employment at one of our Goodwill Outlet stores. Please enjoy Gary’s story by watching this video. Gary- we are so proud of you and happy to have you as a part of Goodwill’s team.
2024 Veteran of the Year, Gary

Gary is a true example of Goodwill Houston's mission at work!
Gary leaned into his faith in God and his former military training in the U.S. Army for the focus, discipline and motivation he needed to create a better life for himself and his family. But after serving in the military, he turned to a life of drugs and crime and eventually ended up in prison. Then, with the support of Goodwill Houston’s employment and training programs for veterans, and through his own determination, hard work and faith, he was able to turn his life around and find employment. Hear his story. #2024VeteranoftheYear #workforcetraining #powerofwork #secondchances
