When you donate to Goodwill®, you are giving back to your community by supporting programs and services integral to the well-being and advancement of clients and their families who face challenges to employment.

Among the program needs for monetary, volunteer, and in-kind support are:

• Computer class and general job training – instructors, scholarships, “job shadowing” opportunities for clients.
• DDA (Developmental Disabilities) services – field trip support, supplies and materials.
• Party food and giveaway items for our Adult Basic Education graduation party the end of May
• Computer graphics design and marketing support services
