How We Help The Community:
Goodwill South Florida is the most influential organization in South Florida focused on helping people with disabilities and other barriers. We have nonprofit divisions that help fund our human services mission while simultaneously employing a significant number of those at Goodwill. We fulfill our mission by receiving donated goods, selling them in our stores, and running multiple nonprofit entrepreneurial businesses (Goodwill Stores & Donation Centers, Apparel Manufacturing, Laundry Services and Custodial Services) which fuel the organization and employ many people with disabilities and other barriers.
Jobs For Everyone:
South Florida has 3.7 million people who are in the employment pool in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Are you aware that 82% of disabled people do not have a job? 457,000 people in Miami Dade and Broward counties have a Disability or Disorder. This difference can create challenges to finding and retaining work. Goodwill steps in and provides assistance.
We Need Your Help:
The more support we have, the more people we are able to help. Goodwill South Florida still struggles with funding. Our challenges include business fluctuations, lack of support for our nonprofit vocational training programs, and acquiring enough seed money to launch new growth-focused businesses.
Get Involved:
We work hard to train and employ more people with disabilities and other barriers to work but we need your help. Our generous donors give clothing and goods, and Goodwill receives profits from shoppers in our stores, but we need to do more. Goodwill South Florida is driven to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Help us make an impact today! We need your help in order to continue to grow.
Mission
Goodwill South Florida is a nonprofit that creates hope, opportunities and a place to belong for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. Belonging is more than a feeling of being welcome. To us, belonging means being secure and supported. It's the ability to meaningfully participate in Goodwill as your authentic self. Belonging is about trust, community and connectedness. It's being accepted and being valued for showing up as YOU. To help you be you, we provide services for people with physical and intellectual challenges and other barriers. We help those we serve increase productivity and move towards greater independence through job training, employment and job placement.
Our programs serve over 5,700 people each year, most of whom have a disability or other barrier to employment. Through evaluation and training, we place our trainees in positions in our community.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities, one person at a time.
