Goodwill of Orange County Exhibiting at Orange County’s Largest Mixer®

Goodwill of Orange County provides people with disabilities and other barriers the opportunity to achieve their highest level of personal and economic independence through a variety of programs and services. Goodwill is probably best known for its thrift stores, but this is just the beginning of the story. At the heart of Goodwill, are its life-changing programs that are made possible from its dynamic social enterprise model. Goodwill’s education, training and employment services include bilingual services, job-seeking skills training, mobility training, computer processing and retail sales. Nearly 200 local companies hire Goodwill-trained workers for full and part-time positions in a number of industries.

In addition to its successful retail stores, Goodwill also offers smart business services that are both efficient and convenient including Workforce Solutions, Document Destruction, E-waste Solutions, Interpreting and Packaging & Assembly services. These businesses double as programs to lay a solid foundation for greater self-sufficiency as well as successful employment in the community. The organization has consistently received a four-star rating, based on organizational efficiency and organizational capacity from Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator.
