Your Purchases Give...Hope

About Goodwill

Mission Statement

Through the sale of donated items, Goodwill helps people with disabilities or other barriers to employment prepare for and find jobs in the community.

In 2006, our Career Solutions Centers served 5,117 people and placed 1,626 in jobs in the community. Our shoppers and donors played an important role in that.

Every time you shop or donate at Goodwill you help someone with a disability or other challenge find a job. A job provides so much more than a paycheck. It boosts self-esteem and dignity. It promotes independence and offers hope.

At Goodwill, we give people the opportunity to help themselves. More than 80 percent of our employees are mission-related. People with such a strong spirit to overcome their challenges and work for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Together, we can help change someone’s life. Together, we can give someone the opportunity to work, grow, and succeed.
