Transforming lives through the power of work, Goodwill Southern California serves individuals with disabilities or other vocational challenges, as well as businesses, by providing education, training, work experience and job placement services. Each year, we prepare and place thousands of individuals into sustainable employment through programs and services offered at three campuses, Career Resource Centers, WorkSource Centers, Deaf, Youth and Veteran Employment Programs throughout Los Angeles (north of Rosecrans Ave.), Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Goodwill SoCal supports our mission with proceeds generated from more than 80 stores and 25 freestanding attended donation centers. We spend 95 percent of our budget on programs and services. Committed to caring for the earth, last year we diverted 100 million pounds of reusable or recyclable goods from landfills. Goodwill is GOOD for Everyone!
