At Goodwill, every donation changes lives. We use the proceeds from donated items to fund Goodwill’s job training programs and career services for individuals facing barriers to employment. Our goal is to end the need for charity by providing long-term solutions, not handouts. Thousands of success stories prove the difference we make, one life at a time.

“It’s not how long the journey takes. It’s if you’re willing to live in the process to see it through.”
“We thank Goodwill’s Helms Academy for helping us become confident in ourselves. Thank you for showing us it’s never too late.”
