Turning your donated items into jobs and contributing to a better community.
Thats the power of Goodwill.

Changing lives for the better

Turning your donated items into jobs and contributing to a better community. That’s the power of Goodwill. For more than 75 years, Goodwill of North Florida has been contributing to building a better community by helping people with barriers to employment receive job training and placement services.

Our approach is simple

We collect donated goods from people throughout the community and generate income by selling those items at our stores and online. We use that money for training and placement services provided by our Job Junctions and Goodwill Temps programs. In addition, we receive government and foundation grants to support specific job training and placement programs.


Each year, through the generosity of more than half a million donors, we are able to provide people in our community with job training and placement services, and connect them with meaningful employment. 

Eighty-nine cents of every dollar we earn goes directly into providing these services.

Mike was unable to continue pursuing his HVAC certification after a job loss. Our A-STEP College Navigators were able to work with Mike to keep him enrolled in the program, completing two HVAC certifications, and continued to support him as he searched for employment. Mike now has a full-time job with an increased income and goals for his future.
