Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh is Building Our Community.....
One Job at a Time.   

Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh is a human service agency and network of not-for-profit businesses whose mission is to assist people with special needs to overcome barriers to work and enjoy the dignity and benefits of work and improved quality of life.

Since its founding in Boston in 1902, Goodwill Industries has evolved into a large and diverse international organization with 187 autonomous members in the U.S. and Canada and 54 associate members in 37 countries outside of North America. Under a franchise-like agreement with Goodwill Industries International, Goodwill Industries of Pittsburgh serves southwestern Pennsylvania and north central West Virginia. We operate a variety of businesses to help support our programs and to provide training and employment opportunities for our clients. The best-known Goodwill business is our chain of retail stores which sell donated clothing and household items.

Revenues from Goodwill stores - along with income from our other business units, salvage sales, contract work, rehabilitation grants and fees, and public support - go directly to job-training services and equipment needed by people with disabilities and disadvantages. An average of 89.4 percent of all revenue raised by Goodwill Industries supports our job-training and employment programs.
