Hammer down at 10 minutes after 7 00. Hello everyone. Welcome to the bayview bistro. It is just time to bring the Community Together by deliciou deliciousness. I am excited to be here today because nothing brings the Community Together like food. Having amazing food options for and by the people of this community is critical to the success, the longterm success and stability of the bayviewhunters point community. I am nima romney. This is a mobile cafe. We do soul food with a latin twist. I wanted to open a truck to son nor the soul food, my African Heritage as well as mylas continuas my latindescent. I have been at this for 15 years. I have been cooking all my life pretty much, you know. I like cooking ribs, chicken, links. My favorite is oysters on the grill. I am the owner. It all started with banana pudding, the mother of them all. Now what i do is take on traditional desserts and pair them with pudding so that is my ultimate goal of the business. Our goal with the bayview bristow is to bring in businesses so they can really use this as a launching off point to grow as a single business. We want to use this as the opportunity to support Business Owners of color and those who have contributed a lot to the community and are looking for opportunities to grow their business. These are the things that the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission is doing. They are doing it because they feel they have a responsibility to san franciscans and to people in this community. I had a grandmother who lived in bayview. She never moved, never wavered. It was a house of security answer entity where we went for holidays. I was a part of bayview most of my life. I cant remember not being a part of bayview. I have been here for several years. This space used to be unoccupied. It was used as a dump. To repurpose it for Something Like this with the bistro to give an opportunity for the local vendors and food people to come out and showcase their work. That is a great way to give back to the community. This is a great example of a publicprivate community partnership. They have been supporting this including the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission and Mayors Office of workforce department. Working with the joint Venture Partners we got resources for the space, that the businesses were able to thrive because of all of the opportunities on the way to this community. Bayview has changed. It is growing. A lot of things is different from when i was a kid. You have the t train. You have a lot of new business. I am looking forward to being a Business Owner in my neighborhood. I love my city. You know, i went to city college and fourth and mission in San Francisco under the chefs ria, marlene and betsy. They are proud of me. I dont want to leave them out of the journey. Everyone works hard. They are very supportive and passionate about what they do, and they all have one goal in mind for the bayview to survive. All right. It is time to eat, people. Good morning, everyone. I am william rogers, i am the president and c. E. O. Of goodwill San Francisco san mateo. [cheers and applause] [laughter] i want to welcome all of you, our friends, our supporters, our partners. We are here today to celebrate together the grand opening of goodwills stateoftheart training and career center. [cheers and applause] i wanted to take a moment to do a couple of things. Lets show a little bit of love to the retail team. [cheers and applause] this store is opening tomorrow and it is going to be beautiful. They did a great job. I want to give special thanks to the honorable mayor breed. Thank you so much for being here [cheers and applause] to the honorable willie brown. [cheers and applause] supervisor peskin, we moved from your district to your district. [laughter] i want to thank the p. U. C. , because without the p. U.

I also want to thank some of our funders who are here. Microsoft, google, wells fargo salesforce, and linkedin. Thank you all for being here today. [applause] the building we are standing here with right now was built in 1914. It has been in San Francisco for as long as San Francisco goodwill has been in San Francisco. Who knew that, right . We have both been here for over 100 years. This building has been a parking garage, it has been an art gallery, and now it is home to a training and Community Center for this community to participate, share, and learn. I want to take a quick moment to introduce our board chair. He served on the board for almost three years. He has been an influential entrepreneur. He is a philanthropist, a volunteer, and a compassionate human being. I just want to introduce eric. [applause] i usually dont get such nice introductions. Thank you. We are proud to be moving here to the tenderloin. It is really, really exciting to be in this space. Theyre going to be some any great opportunities for us to part with great organizations here and i cant tell you how proud we are to be here. As an investor, i look for misunderstood organizations where there is a real difference between perception and reality. That are managed by strong management teams, driven by strong purpose, where my investment, whether it is time or money, can make a real difference. I want to unpack that for a second. Really, whats misunderstood about goodwill is our mission. When i talked to most people out there, people really dont seem to understand what we stand for and why were doing what we are doing. So i think that really the best way to understand is the old story about if you catch a man of fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach them and how to fish, you will eat for life. That is what we are all about. We are all about providing Second Chances by providing jobs and training for those who have barriers to employment. Whether it is formerly incarcerated, recovering addicts , people who struggle with english as a second language, veterans, and a whole bunch of other people that really need a Second Chance. I am really proud to be part of this organization to help that. Of course, we have strong management, that is another thing we look for with william and his team. They are fabulous. I really feel like we are making a difference here. I feel like we are addressing housing and security, we are addressing food insecurity, we are addressing Mental Illness by providing job training and jobs. So i really appreciate all of you coming today and i hope we can do great things together. Thank you. [applause] thank you, eric. Almost everybody know something about goodwill, right . You either might know through the donation sites or you drop off still stuff that you no longer want or need, you may know it as a store, to find a treasure or get a good deal, and yet there we are so much more than that. Today, no matter what you know about goodwill, i will ask you to take a closer look. When you take a closer look, what you will find is that San Francisco goodwill is, by its very nature, and with great intention, and innovator in our approach to workforce development, sustainability, and economic inclusion. We focus on those who face barriers to employment, that is who we partner with, and we are highly unique in our approach, so we provide paid employment with benefits, industry training , customized career support, all under one roof, but in fact, we have learned that is not enough. We have also created programs to help people develop the resilience and confidence to be successful in todays ever changing labor market because we know the world of work is rapidly of all thing and we all need to be ready. When you take a closer look at goodwill, you will see an organization that is highly committed to sustainability. You will learn that we divert over 31 Million Pounds every year from the landfills. You will learn that we were the first one of the first entities in the United States to convert half of our fleet to electric tracks, so no, we have 11 electric powered commercial trucks with note tail pack admissions. And with these trucks, we eliminate 55,000 diesel emissions and replace them with clean, quiet zero emissions. [applause] over the next couple of years we will use warty what he thousand gallons less diesel fuel and that enables us to reduce Carbon Emissions by 400 tonnes. What you will also learn is through our Computer Technology recycling and refurbishing program, we divert over 3 Million Pounds of electronic waste from entering our landfills every year. And last year, we refurbished over 200,000 electronic units for reuse. This year, we begin working with recycling innovators who can take a shirt that is 50 cotton, 50 polyester, separate that polyester from the cotton, and actually use that as five or to make new clothing. So for the stuff we get that is torn or ripped or stained, we will be able to recycle those things and make them into new clothing. [cheers and applause] when you take a closer look at goodwill in the state of california, you will see that goodwill drove 2. 4 of the state s job growth and that was by creating jobs for people who have been left behind and left out. I am the current chair of the California Council of goodwill, i always hear the four alltime low and employment rate in the state of california, but what we know about that is that that Unemployment Rate is significantly higher for the populations that we serve. So the fact that goodwill his in the state of california have driven that 2. 4 of the job growth with the populations that we serve, is a significant accomplishment and we are just getting started. [applause] today im also inviting you to take a closer look at our facility. We are excited to have you toured our Training Center little bit later today after the program where you will see the goodwill microsoft maker space, which is the first of its kind in this neighborhood. You will learn about our Career Pathways and Career Services which include training for sick technology certifications. You also get to experience our computer refurbishing team in action. Our work at goodwill is centred on the belief that everyone deserves access to a Career Pathway that can lead to economic security. And that the right combination of Work Experience, skill developments, and confidence can accelerate a persons economic mobility. We are very proud of what we do and yet we are also very clear we do it alone. Our work is strengthened by our partners and our collaborators and many of you are here today, and i thank you for that. People can change their lives. In fact, people do change their lives. Together, we have an opportunity to transform lives, support families, and strengthen communities through training, and the dignity of work. The collective power in this room is tremendous. We have the opportunity to make a real difference and to foster a legacy of keeping San Francisco the special place that it is. And so today, lets celebrate our new home. Tomorrow, was roll up our sleeves and Work Together to create a new legacy where San Fr
