Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County

Serving Delaware and Delaware County, PA for Over 90 Years! Incorporated in 1921 by the Rev. J. H. Beauchamp at Asbury Methodist Church, Goodwill Industries of Delaware and Delaware County, Inc. is the oldest nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing vocational services in the state of Delaware. Goodwill operated on the philosophy of "Give a hand up, not a hand out." Our original intent was to put people to work – collecting, repairing and reselling clothing and household items. The purpose was, and still is, to discover the productive capabilities inherent in all people. Today, Goodwill constituents are completing sophisticated vocational programs that prepare them to enter the workforce. Thanks to the community's support of material donations and monetary contributions, we are able to offer our programs to people with barriers to employment. In addition, Goodwill operates three distinct businesses – Goodwill Stores and Auctions, Goodwill Janitorial Services, and Goodwill Staffing Services. These businesses not only provide invaluable services to the community, but also employment and training opportunities for the individuals we serve.
