Goodwill is North America’s leading nonprofit provider of education, training, and career services for people with disadvantages as well as those with physical, mental and emotional disabilities.
They believe that work has the power to transform lives by building self-confidence, independence, creativity, trust and friendships. Their mission is to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals, families, and communities by eliminating barriers to opportunity and helping people in need reach their fullest potential through the power of work.
When you donate your gently used household items and clothing to Goodwill, and when you shop at Goodwill, you are playing a vital role in fulfilling their mission of helping people go to work. The sales of donated items in their stores and online at www.shopgoodwill.com fund the Goodwill job training programs and other services that are critical to the health and well-being of communities across the United States and Canada. Shopping at Goodwill is making an investment in your community because 84 percent of the revenues help fund job training programs and employment placement services for people who want to work or others having a hard time finding employment [OR people who have physical, mental or emotional disabilities lack education or job experience, or face other employment challenges].
