About Us

Goodwill Industries of the Valleys is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities and disadvantages overcome barriers to employment. We provide workforce development programs that empower people to achieve and sustain a level of independence to participate more fully in life.

Our programs are primarily funded through the collection and sale of donated goods. We also rely on the generous financial support of individual and corporate donors.

A key component of our mission is the industrial services we offer to business and industry, which provides the training and employment opportunities for individuals participating in our workforce development programs.

Goodwill Industries of the Valleys is part of a network of local, autonomous Goodwill member organizations in the United States and Canada. Each Goodwill operates under the umbrella of a common mission; however, each functions as an independent organization with its own programs and locally-elected board of directors. Goodwill Industries International links all Goodwill members together to ensure quality standards, shared leadership, and a fluid exchange of ideas throughout the Goodwill movement.

Goodwill Industries of the Valleys, headquartered in Roanoke, serves 31 counties and 14 cities in the Shenandoah Valley, central and southwest Virginia.

Mission Services

Goodwill provides a broad range of training and employment opportunities that assist youth, adults and older workers in overcoming barriers to employment and achieving a level of independence to participate more fully in life. Our Mission Services programs focus on meeting individual needs and ensuring each participant progresses to reach his or her full potential. Supported by a team of dedicated, professional staff, participants are regularly assessed and measured so that successful and desired outcomes are realized.

Specific Goodwill programs have been accredited by CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. CARF accreditation means that we have made a commitment to continually enhance the quality of our programs and focus on participant satisfaction.

Goodwill’s Mission Services programs are designed to provide individuals with the level of support needed to succeed. From daily intensive skills training to job coaching, people with disabilities and disadvantages receive valuable training and employment opportunities to help change their lives and make a difference in the community.
