Description:
Goodwill of Western Missouri & Eastern Kansas has a rich, 130 year+ history. Everyone knows Goodwill for our thrift stores, but few know what Goodwill is really all about. The sale of unwanted items provides funds that stay local, helping us to support thousands of job seekers with barriers to employment. We believe in the Power of Work and are committed to helping people earn and keep jobs in the community. That’s why 88 cents of every dollar Goodwill spends goes directly into our mission, not into shareholders’ pockets.
