Our Guiding Philosophy

Goodwill is all about the power of work. We've witnessed its power in transforming lives. Work helps build self-confidence, independence and dignity. At Goodwill, we believe everyone deserves a chance to have these things in life. As the late John F. Kennedy once said, "All of us do not have equal talents, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents." Goodwill is pleased to be able to provide this chance.

Since 1948, Goodwill has turned on the power of work for thousands of local residents with special needs. Through our high caliber employment training programs, we empower individuals with the tools needed to succeed in the workplace. And along the way, we've transformed many lives and many families.
We're Building a Better Community Through the Power of Work!
