GOODWILL OF THE HEARTLAND
MISSION & SERVICES
The mission of Goodwill of the Heartland is to advance the social and economic
well-being of people who experience barriers to independence. When you
donate and when you shop our stores, you create jobs and other opportunities for
people with barriers: individuals with disabilities, veterans, seniors, youth facing
employment challenges, people overcoming substance abuse; those that may be
unemployed or underemployed and lacking job skills and work experience for a
variety of reasons.
HOW TO HELP
You can support Goodwill by becoming a regular donor - donate clothing and
household items and computers and related technology and encourage others
to do the same. Organize a workplace or community donation drive event. In
addition to helping us stock our stores, you’ll be giving new life to old things
and diverting usable goods from area landfills. Provide training and employment
opportunities at your business for Goodwill clients. Contract with Goodwill for
your light manufacturing, assembly and packaging needs. Become a regular
shopper of our 17 stores and online auction sites, shopgoodwill.com and
restitch.com, where you will discover incredible value and unique finds every day.

Since the Flood of 2008, Matthew 25 has worked to rebuild and redevelop flood-impacted
neighborhoods through a variety of programs, such as the Block by Block program, which restored
nearly 300 homes. Today, Matthew 25 offers a virtual “toolbox for neighborhood building.”
All kids are gifted – and those gifts are vital to our community’s health. Matthew 25 empowers
youth through positive relationships, hands-on education, and artistic exploration.
