Summit County One-Stop System:

Goodwill Industries is proud to be the temporary home for the Summit County One-Stop center. Representatives from various agencies are on-site to provide their services to meet the specific needs of each client. The Summit County Department of Job & Family Services, and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services are among the one-stop partners represented in the One-Stop center. Future plans have the permanent One-Stop center locating to a larger facility in a prime location to better service the community. The One-Stop concept is designed with clients in mind. The idea is to make services more readily available, by placing a vast array of agencies and services under one roof, so that clients only have to make “one stop” to receive a number of desired services. If you are interested when partners are available, or to learn more about the temporary one-stop housed at Goodwill Industries, please call 330-786-2501.
