Goodwill

Our network of 165 independent, community-based Goodwills in the United States and Canada offers customized job training, employment placement and other services to people who have disabilities, lack education or job experience, or face employment challenges.

*One fellow Social Worker informed me that in the past she has donated goods to them in exchange for a gift card to Goodwill- this would be great if you had something you didn't need that you could barter with!
