Our store revenues fund our nonprofit mission to invest in people who need support to achieve their work and life goals. Goodwill NNE’s programs include workforce training programs, 22 group homes that support adults with disabilities, community supports for adults with disabilities, AmeriCorps programs, and business-cleaning services. We also operate two brain injury clinics to help people recover after a brain injury. When you come to work at Goodwill, you help make these programs possible!
