Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties puts people back to work. We provide education and career services to people who have disadvantages that would otherwise make it hard for them to find jobs. 85% of the cost of these services is paid for by our businesses. Sometimes called the “original recycler,” Goodwill’s main business is to collect donated clothes, jewelry, even automobiles and sell them online or in one of our 17 retail outlets. Every month, we serve 325 program participants, place 73 people in jobs, process over 100,000 retail transactions, and divert 1.5 million lbs. of material goods from landfill.
