Welcome to Alabama Goodwill Industries, where we are more than just a thrift store – we are a nonprofit organization with a heart for transforming lives and creating meaningful employment opportunities for those who need it most. As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community and beyond.
Empowering Through Employment:
At Alabama Goodwill, our mission is simple yet powerful – we believe in the power of work to transform lives. Through our various programs and services, we empower individuals to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential. We provide job training, skills development, and employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities, veterans, and others facing challenges in the job market.
Thrift Store with a Purpose:
When you shop at our thrift stores, you are not just finding great deals on quality items – you are also making a difference in the lives of others. Proceeds from our thrift stores directly support our mission of creating jobs and empowering individuals through employment. Every purchase you make helps to fund our programs and services that make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
Job Training and Skills Development:
At Alabama Goodwill, we offer comprehensive job training and skills development programs that prepare individuals for success in the workforce. Through vocational training, resume building, interview coaching, and job placement services, we equip individuals with the tools they need to secure stable employment and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Supporting Veterans:
We are proud to serve those who have served our country. Our veteran programs provide specialized services and resources to help veterans transition into the civilian workforce. Whether it’s assistance with resume writing, networking opportunities, or job placement services, we are committed to supporting our veterans in their journey to find meaningful employment after their military service.
Community Impact:
As a locally based organization, we are deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We believe in the power of community collaboration and work closely with local businesses, government agencies, and community organizations to create a network of support for those we serve. Our impact goes beyond just providing employment opportunities – we are committed to strengthening communities and fostering a sense of hope and possibility for all.
Environmental Stewardship:
At Alabama Goodwill, we are also dedicated to environmental stewardship. Through our recycling and reuse initiatives, we divert millions of pounds of goods from landfills each year. By donating and shopping at our thrift stores, you are not only supporting our mission but also contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.
