Goodwill Achieves 30th Consecutive Year of CARF Accreditation!

​Founded in 1966, as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human services providers. Think of CARF accreditation as the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for social service agencies such as Goodwill Industries of New Mexico (GINM), which strive for excellence in our day-to-day operations.  

“Being CARF accredited is vitally important to the future of our organization,” states Terry Armstrong, Chief Services Officer at GINM. Understanding that importance, every three years, we go through a survey to reaccredit our organization and the services that we provide. The survey process is an extensive examination of everything that we do at GINM, from ensuring that we are following federal laws regarding persons’ served privacy and rights, to keeping the aisles in our retail stores are accessible to all that shop them.  The preparation for the survey takes about a year, and virtually every GINM employee is tasked with a piece of the survey.  

As of May 20, 2019, we are happy to announce that for the 30th consecutive year we have achieved CARF accreditation.
