Spreading Good at the Dan & Sheila Rogers Kindness Cafe

March 26, 2019

Dan and Sheila Rogers are the type of people you never forget. One encounter with them and you’re immediately enthralled by their kindness, their generosity, their commitment to serving others. As Goodwill of Orange County’s former CEO, Dan left an incredible mark on the organization. He established many of Goodwill’s key programs and initiatives, and instilled a culture of kindness wherever he went. His wife Sheila, who passed away earlier this year, was an equal inspiration to all. Her passion and bright light for the Goodwill mission continues to shine today.
