The Power of You & Goodwill NCW in Our Communities
When you donate
You’re not just clearing out clutter; you’re making room for the things you TRULY love.
The average donation creates about three hours of job training through Goodwill NCW Employment Services.
When you shop secondhand
You’re not just buying new clothes; you’re unlocking your inner fashionista and a style that’s all your own.
On average, 90 cents of every dollar in sales is reinvested back into our mission of Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment.
When you donate and shop, it means you’re powering possibilities for individuals with employment barriers in Central and North Central Wisconsin.
Meet Sally: Embracing Change and Overcoming Obstacles

Despite living with a neurological condition that causes tremors, Sally doesn’t let it slow her down and has become an integral part of the team at the Waupaca Goodwill store, where she hangs and sizes softlines.
Store Team Leader Tyler states, “Sally embodies everything that is great about Goodwill NCW. I cannot say enough about her attitude and how she battles daily, but smiles all the way through it.”
