Goodwill Cares is a program initiated by Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago to provide assistance with clothing, furniture and other household items for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness, fires, domestic abuse, illness, or those who are unemployed and/or underemployed. Referrals for assistance come through local non-profit agencies in communities where Goodwill Store & Donation Centers are located. These partnerships enable Goodwill to actively improve the quality of life for individuals in need. Annually, the Goodwill Cares program provides this much needed assistance to more than 7,800 individuals and families. Below are just a few of the many success stories that are made possible through the Goodwill Cares program.
