Goodwill Industries of Alberta

 

Since 1963, Goodwill has helped provide meaningful employment for those with disabilities or barriers to the workforce. Your donations empower Albertans with disabilities through the power of work and the dignity of a job. Thank you for your support and together, we can make a positive impact in Alberta as we continue to catch excellence!

As a non-profit, second-hand thrift retailer, our capacity to strengthen communities revolves around the generosity of people choosing to donate to Goodwill and our ability to efficiently repurpose all donations.

Environmental Value: Over 19 million kilograms is diverted from landfills in Alberta annually through best practices in sustainability. Almost 90% of all donations received by Goodwill are purchased through our retail operations, upcycled or repurposed through training programs at Goodwill or recycled through a variety of local partnerships.

Mission Impact: Over 90% of all revenue from our retail sales goes directly back into building programs for those with disabilities or barriers to find meaningful employment. This includes (but is not limited to):

  • Our Career Connections team, providing job coaching and training for those with disabilities.
  • Our Beyond Jobs team, providing employment programs for women with barriers entering the workforce.
  • Our Employment Inclusion Accelerator team, working with employers on best practices in creating a diverse workforce.
  • Our Goodwill @ Work team, a team made up entirely of people with disabilities, working together to upcycle and create products for local businesses.

Our overall goal is to create independence and success for those who are looking for meaningful employment.
