COVID-19 Impact on Goodwill

We have an important update about store our stores reopening. Please click here for more information.

We need your support right now more than ever. When this is all over, there will be an overwhelming community need for our employment services. Remember that Goodwill of Heartland is a non-profit charitable organization and that we rely on our retail stores to fund our mission - advancing the social and economic wellbeing of people who experience barriers to independence. Most of our stores remain closed.  We have limited resources to move our mission forward and to support the reopening of our operations. Please consider an online financial donation. Your contribution will help carry our organization through this difficult time.  It will also ensure that we are prepared to meet the demand for assistance that we know is coming. Our goal is to be a leader in getting people back to work after this crisis has passed.
