Goodwill Industries of San Joaquin Valley is a non-profit organization operating in California’s San Joaquin Valley region as part of the larger Goodwill Industries International network. Founded as a regional chapter, the organization serves communities throughout San Joaquin County and surrounding areas through its retail stores, donation centers, and workforce development programs. The organization operates multiple retail locations throughout the San Joaquin Valley, selling donated clothing, furniture, household items, and other goods at affordable prices. These retail operations help fund the organization’s primary mission of providing job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people facing barriers to employment. Goodwill Industries of San Joaquin Valley maintains a workforce development program that offers job skills training, career counseling, and placement assistance to individuals with disabilities, those lacking education or job experience, and others facing employment challenges. The organization also provides vocational rehabilitation services and partners with local businesses to create employment opportunities. Through its donation centers, the organization promotes environmental sustainability by diverting millions of pounds of usable goods from landfills annually. The revenue generated from retail sales supports various community programs and services that align with Goodwill’s mission of helping people achieve economic independence through the power of work.
