100+ years of doing good work

For more than a century, Goodwill has been a beacon of hope, making a positive impact on communities across the United States, Canada and 13 other countries. Here at Goodwill of North Central West Virginia, we’ve been proud to serve our local community since 1919.

Our commitment to meeting critical human needs has never wavered, and we take pride in our long-standing legacy of doing good work. We know that finding employment can be tough, but as a nonprofit organization, we’ve been helping people achieve their career goals for over 120 years.

In that time, we’ve helped millions of individuals get back on their feet and find success in the workforce. Here are just a few of the ways we made a difference in 2025:

  • 22,112 individuals were served through our mission services
  • 331 individuals found meaningful employment with Goodwill’s support
  • 2,500,643 shopper transactions at 35 Goodwill stores
  • 1,190,556 donated items were turned into opportunities for our community

  • $15.72 million in economic output was created through Goodwill’s programs

We believe in progress for people,
the community and our planet.

At Goodwill of North Central West Virginia, we are committed to doing our part to protect the environment while serving our community. We know that many of our customers and donors share our values, and we want to ensure you know how we approach reusing and recycling. When you donate items to Goodwill, currently at 150,000 pounds of donated materials daily, we sort them carefully into two categories: saleable and non-saleable.

Saleable

Saleable items like clothing, books and housewares are placed on our sales floor, where they have the chance to find a new home. If these items don’t sell after a few weeks, we recycle them to prevent them from ending up in a landfill.

Non-saleable

Non-saleable items like damaged goods and scrap metals are immediately recycled. Over the past five years, our dedication to responsible recycling has kept an estimated 460,000 cubic yards of material out of landfills. That’s almost 3,000 truckloads of waste that we’ve prevented from polluting our planet.

We believe that everyone can make a difference, no matter how small. By donating to and shopping at Goodwill, you’re helping to create a more sustainable future for us all. Thank you for being a part of our community and for supporting our mission.

Our 2025 impact: Helping the planet, one step at a time.
