Goodwill of the Olympics & Rainier Region

Goodwill'​ mission is to help people reach their fullest potential through education, job placement, and career pathway services made possible by community donations, purchases and partnerships. Since 1902, Goodwill’s concept of building job skills has provided people of all ages and backgrounds a chance to succeed. Our Goodwill opened in 1921 as the 19th Goodwill in the United States, offering its own job training and placement services. Today, Goodwill operates work opportunity centers in Tacoma and Longview, WA. Goodwill is a unique, self-supporting 501(c)3 nonprofit that utilizes donations sold in its 37 stores across a 15-county service area and online sales to fund its programs. Additional funding comes from public and private grants and generous financial contributions from the community.
