Empower Generations. Strengthen Communities.

Goodwill Industries of Dallas' mission is to help persons with barriers recognize and reach their full potential and experience a life filled with purpose, accomplishment, and self-sufficiency. 

For 100 years, Goodwill has helped individuals with barriers to employment transform their lives through the power of jobs. Today, Goodwill Dallas serves eight counties across North Texas, including Dallas, Ellis, Kaufman, Navarro, Rains, Rockwall, and parts of Collin and Denton counties. 

The Donated Goods program provides direct employment through the recycling and reselling of material donations across their 18 stores while keeping millions of pounds of reusable items out of landfills. The program currently employs 700+ individuals and provides opportunities for development and multiple paths to success. The revenue generated is invested back into creating employment opportunities for individuals with barriers. 

The Workforce Development program utilizes a person-centered approach to assessments, education, job training and placement to build pathways to success and helps them achieve their goals. Additionally, Goodwill collaborates with local organizations and businesses to provide wraparound services and job placement opportunities within the community. 

My North Texas Giving Day fundraiser goal of 50 donors and $1,000 will go towards their no-cost job training and placement services to takes individual job seekers from where they are currently to where they aspire to be.
