 Overview of Goodwill Industries of Dallas, Inc.

Goodwill Industries of Dallas, Inc. exists to help persons with disabilities and other barriers to

employment get jobs so that each can experience dignity, purpose, and self-sufficiency. Goodwill does this by helping people build skills, find jobs, and reach their goals in life through a donated goods business, workforce development and other social enterprise models. Here are our core beliefs:

• We believe each person has unique abilities and can make a meaningful contribution in life.
• We believe jobs are transformational to individual lives and communities.

Goodwill prides itself on an engaging and welcoming work environment, where we demonstrate our core values of Respect, Commitment, Improvement, and Integrity daily.

Goodwill Dallas achieves its mission by helping people build skills, find jobs, and ultimately reach their goals in life, through two closely integrated programs:

• The Donated Goods Program provides direct employment through the recycling and reselling of material donations across 18 stores and a 175,000 sq. ft. warehouse.
• The Workforce Development Program assists clients with assessments, education, job readiness training, coaching and career placement.
• Goodwill’s unique approach includes: a fair chance and opportunity, a person-centered, holistic approach, and multiple paths to success in a safe, supportive environment. The Donated Goods Program provides employment by offering work through the recycling and reselling of material donations in stores throughout the community, while keeping millions of pounds of reusable items out of our landfills. Every dollar that is generated from retail stores is invested back into creating employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and disadvantaged conditions.
• There are over 220,000 individuals with disabilities in the north Texas region. Only 90,000 have jobs. Last year, Goodwill Dallas placed over 1,000 individuals with jobs - earning more than $22 million in wages. Since 1923, Goodwill Dallas has served over 100,000 individuals in the North Texas community.
