Goodwill Starts with You

Goodwill starts with you, when you shop or donate to Goodwill NCW, you make a life-changing impact on someone’s life. Your support helps provide pathways for people who are underserved, underrepresented and disadvantaged who have a goal of building skills that lead to sustained employment and improved financial stability.

Programs such as Employment and Training, Skills to Build, Financial Wellness Services and Good Neighbor provide individuals with job training and opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have that make a difference in their lives and in our communities.

Whether you support Goodwill because of our mission of Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment, enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the incredible values you find, are committed to keeping items out of the landfill or are a dedicated DIY enthusiast, you can feel good about the impact you make!

Meet the neighbors in your community who experience the life-changing impact you make every time you shop and donate.
