New Veteran Tribute

Goodwill of Central Illinois has unveiled an updated tribute to its Wing of Hope namesake, Thomas Hope.

Goodwill’s General Wayne A. Downing Home for Veterans saw the wing completed in 2017 with support from Steve Hope, Thomas’s brother. The Wing of Hope added 5 new bedrooms, an expanded laundry room, a game room and storm shelter.

“We want this tribute to stand the test of time and with this new branding, we believe it will,” said Goodwill’s President & CEO Don Johnson. “It not only honors Thomas Hope, but it honors all of our veterans. We see the turmoil in our world and have our veterans to thank for our freedom and way of life.”

The design was created by Goodwill’s MarCom department and printed by Honegger Sign Company.
