The Power of You & Goodwill NCW in Our Communities

When you donate

you’re not just clearing out a space in your garage, you’re fueling new beginnings.

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-to-you luggage, you’re saying yes to new adventures.

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.
