Every 42 seconds of every business day, someone gets a job — and comes closer to achieving personal and financial independence — thanks to Goodwill and you. The sales of your donations help fund Goodwill’s job training programs and other career services that help people become successful at work.

Goodwill Industries is consistently ranked among top charities that make your donations go further. Not all organizations that collect donations make the best use of them. Some thrift stores solicit donations under the name of a charity, but as little as 5 percent of the money generated from these donations may actually go to the charity. At Goodwill Industries of West Michigan, over 90 percent of the revenue generated through retail store sales is used to fund our employment and training programs.

Goodwill donors may also choose to make a monetary donation. Regardless of how you contribute, we are grateful for your support.
