// KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

For 60 years, Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids has been changing lives and communities through the power of work.
Every donation and purchase helps provide job training, career coaching, and placement services for people facing barriers to employment. With 17 retail stores, an outlet, and a new store planned for 2027, Goodwill continues to help
individuals build skills, find meaningful employment, and create brighter futures.

Approximately 90 cents of every dollar supports our mission, programs, and local operations. From skills assessments and interview preparation to job placement and continued support, Goodwill empowers people to build skills, find
