Our Mission

Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries' mission is to provide exemplary job training and related services to help individuals with disabilities and other barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work. Not charity, but a chance.

Since our founding in 1895, Goodwill has been dedicated to the social justice mission of serving individuals, families, and communities with the greatest needs by helping people go to work to be able to support themselves and their families. Goodwill annually serves more than 7,200 low-income, unemployed and underemployed adults in its job training and career services programs, and more than 1,000 young people in its youth services programs. Further, Goodwill makes high quality clothing and household goods available at very reasonable prices through The Goodwill Stores. Goodwill is a major employer of individuals with disabilities in the social enterprises it operates in retail, housekeeping, and maintenance, food service and light assembly.
