Your purchases and donations stay local and support individuals served by Goodwill NCW as they build job skills to sustain employment and improve their financial stability.
Every purchase provides pathways. Goodwill NCW reinvests an average of 90 cents of every dollar in store sales back into the mission to provide life-changing impact to individuals with barriers to employment.
Every donation builds job skills. The average donation creates nearly three hours of job training through Goodwill NCW mission programs to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential.
Every partnership creates opportunities. Goodwill NCW partners with more than 120 nonprofits across north central Wisconsin to transform lives through the power of work.

Meet Matthew
Matt had a job in the community but when the store he worked at closed, he had trouble attaining new employment. Matt was referred to the Rib Mountain Goodwill store for a 30-day temporary work experience.
Through his training experience with Goodwill NCW, he identified that he was very interested in the production area. Matt has excelled at hitting proficiency marks and staying on task. He has also improved his social skills and communication with the team.
Matt mentioned that he has felt very supported by the rest of the team. “Goodwill has helped me talk to people more often than before. I ask for help when I need it and I have ideas that could help,” Matt said.
