Want to Help Goodwill? Take a look at our Wish List!
Each year, Goodwill helps more than 6,800 people with disabilities, disadvantages, and other barriers to employment prepare for and get a job. Goodwill provides classroom training, one-on-one counseling and coaching, and access to resources at job centers in Charlotte (2 locations), Gastonia, Lincolnton and Shelby.
While Goodwill needs donated items to sell in our retail stores, we maintain this Wish List of items we can use directly in our programs and offices. To make a gift in kind donation or designate a financial gift towards the purchase of Wish List items, please call Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont at 704-372-3434.
