When you shop Goodwill, you shop for a cause. The proceeds of your purchases help further our mission of providing training, employment and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence. In a time when the world needs just a little more love, peace and understanding, our message—and our work—has become increasingly important. When those we serve succeed, whether it's by learning a new skill, securing a job, or simply finding a place where they belong, it fills them with hope. That hope not only lends itself to creating a better day today, but it paves the way for an even brighter tomorrow—and that helps us ALL succeed.

Through your purchases and your donations, YOU helped change lives. Together we have served many, but there are still countless individuals who need our help. We hope you'll continue this journey with us and, with our deepest gratitide, we thank you for supporting our mission.

The individuals you see in the scrolling images above are actual Goodwill shoppers who were gracious enough to share their stories with us and donate their time to help spread our message. We hope you'll take a few minutes to remind yourself (and others) of the five simple statements on each slide that are powerful alone but, collectively, can also make a huge impact.

Warm your soul. Spread kindness. Feel the love. Let it shine. — Stay AMAZING.
