Business Services
Goodwill has a long tradition of partnering with the business community to fulfill its mission of helping individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency to achieve independence and dignity through work. Our partnership with the business community takes many forms, all of which are equally vital to the success of Goodwill's work, from our job training and placement services, to our stores and goods donations and store operations, to our events and fundraising program, and more.
