To help people with disabilities or other disadvantages achieve and maintain employment to gain a better quality of life. Goodwill provides jobs, training, and counseling for people with disabilities or other disadvantages including welfare recipients and low-wage workers. Goodwill collects and sells donated items to provide employment and training for these individuals with any excess funding the expansion of our services as well as literacy and counseling programs. More than 87 percent of Goodwill’s revenue is channeled back to its critical mission. By working with this specific type of population, Goodwill improves communities. Individuals, who might otherwise receive government aid, can now enter the role of a tax-paying citizen. With the support of Goodwill, many men and women change their lives for the better. Goodwill’s mission is carried out through a variety of programs and services all with one goal—helping those less fortunate become more successful, productive, and independent. Some of the programs operated by Goodwill include job placement services, skills evaluations, an adult education center, and employment for people with disabilities or disadvantages. Goodwill centers/stores make every effort to provide job opportunities and training to people with disabilities. With Goodwill centers in more than 45 locations throughout Kentucky, local communities benefit from our services in many ways. Each Goodwill store: Creates 8-12 new jobs Provides meaningful job skills to employees Offers clothes and other household goods at low prices Reduces the volume of local landfills Generates local taxpayer dollars Moves Kentuckians off welfare
