GOODWILL INDUSTRIES
Mission: Goodwill is a non-profit organization that provides affordable goods and materials to consumers by reusing other people's possessions that they no longer need. They also employ a specific employee base to improve the quality of life for people with disadvantages, such as those with welfare dependency, homelessness, a lack of education or work experience, and mental emotional disabilities. By working with this population, they provide work opportunities and skill development to help them achieve self-sufficiency. Volunteers are needed to sort through donated items, put items away, and work with customers.
