When you donate to Goodwill South Florida, your support creates opportunities for more people with disabilities to learn new skills and maximize each of their individual abilities. We provide training, employment and job placement for people with disabilities and other barriers to work –helping individuals increase productivity and achieve greater independence.
We greatly appreciate donations that Goodwill can use to sell in our stores!
The revenue from the sales of these donated items goes to help our nonprofit’s mission of training, employment and job placement for people with disabilities and other barriers to work.
When Goodwill receives items that cannot be sold, the staff must dispose of them, increasing expenses and reducing the revenue available for employment and educational services.
