It’s About So Much More Than a Job

A job has the power to change a life. As a community-based nonprofit, we meet people where they are to address the specific challenges job seekers face. When you donate, your local Goodwill sells those items to fund services available to anyone looking to start a new life.

How It Works

After you donate to Goodwill, we sort your items to sell in store or online. The revenue generated then funds career services right in your community. In addition to clearing the clutter while keeping items out of landfills, you can feel great about helping people in your community start new lives.
