How Does Your Donation Help?

The more donations Goodwill receives, the more jobs can be created. Goodwill’s retail stores are the organization’s primary source of funding for our employment and training services. True to the original concept of Goodwill’s founder, the collection of donated items remains the backbone of the organization.

So just what happens when you donate that old shirt or toaster to Goodwill?

• You drop off your unwanted items at one of our 16 area donation centers.
• Goodwill employees, most of whom are disabled, sort, tag, and sell the items at one of our nine area stores.
• We transport the goods from the donation center to our central processing facility. Here over 200 Goodwill employees, most of whom are disabled, sort, tag, and ship the items to one of our seven area stores.
• Store revenues pay for the wages and benefits of our employees.
• Store revenues also fund other Goodwill services such as our Computer training classes, our free job placement program, and our English-as-a-Second-Language classes.
