Goodwill Industries of Southern NJ

Most people know Goodwill as the place to donate unwanted items or to shop for treasures. But our core mission is really about changing lives. As a nonprofit, community-based leader, Goodwill provides education, job training and career services that help individuals faced with barriers to become competitively employed. Goodwill is about giving a hand up, not a hand out. We believe everybody should have the opportunity to achieve independence through the power of work, no matter what barrier one might be facing.

What is Goodwill?

• We are a retail store filled with bargains for the cost conscious shopper.
• We are a donation center – a place to recycle items no longer needed.
• We are a resource for businesses for filling permanent and temporary jobs and for outsourcing light industrial work.
• But most importantly, we are a non-profit provider of job training and career services for individuals with disabilities and disadvantages. Put quite simply, Goodwill’s mission is to help put people to work.
