Creating jobs, changing lives.
Goodwill Industries of Kentucky is a nonprofit organization that has been operating since 1923 with the mission of Creating jobs, changing lives. It focuses on providing employment opportunities for individuals facing disabilities and challenges, aiming to improve their quality of life. The company runs 66 retail stores across Kentucky, offering hands-on experience in various fields such as customer service, cashiering, time management, and production/processing.
One of the key aspects of Goodwill's operations is the reliance on donations of clothing and household items as a means to generate revenue. This revenue supports 11 Opportunity Centers around the state, which in turn aid in job preparation, training, and placement programs for those facing barriers to employment.
Notable recent activity includes a grant investment on 18 September 2024, which was secured from Charter Communications. This investment is expected to fuel the organization's efforts in supporting and expanding its initiatives aimed at empowering individuals through employment.
