Goodwill of Central Virginia is part of a network of 184 community-based, autonomous member organizations in the United States, Canada, and 14 other countries that serve people with obstacles to employment through education, training and job placement services. As a non-profit organization, we help people become independent, tax-paying members of their communities, by giving them opportunity to work, earn income and enjoy a sense of pride and self-esteem. Our work and mission are focused on long-term employment solutions for persons with disabilities and individuals with social and economic disadvantages. Learn more about our Programs & Services >>>

To fund our mission, we collect donated clothing, household items and automobiles to sell in our 20 retail stores and at our weekly auctions, and provide business enterprises to public and private businesses and government. Each business unit at Goodwill generates income, while serving as front-line training ground for the development of job skills. We also receive funding through financial donations from the general public, as well as grant funding from corporations and foundations. Over 85 percent of our revenues are channeled directly into programs to meet our local communities' needs.

In 2007, Goodwill of Central Virginia served 10,462 individuals through career development and support services.
