Goodwill Industries of Northeastern Pennsylvania

At Goodwill Industries of NEPA, we help individuals with disabilities or other barriers enhance their lives. We transform revenue from our retail locations and help individuals by providing education, career training, job placement, socialization, re-entry assistance and more. Get to know a few of the many individuals we serve.

With a friendly smile and welcoming presence, Gerry greets coworkers and customers alike at Goodwill Industries of NEPA's Hanover Township store. Gerry began participating in Goodwill's Small Group Employment program in 2019 and has made quite an impression ever since.

Alongside a job coach and colleagues, he has learned the ins and outs of sorting, organizing merchandise and other daily tasks. The Small Group Employment program allows Gerry to have on-the-job support while learning new skills and earning a paycheck.

With his positive attitude and outstanding work ethic, Gerry looks forward to continuing his work with Goodwill and developing his skills.

Visitors to Goodwill's Community Participation Supports (CPS) program in Dickson City can't help but smile when visiting. Laughter and conversation fill the room as individuals work to develop social skills and make new friends through community integration activities. One of the happiest and most welcoming is Vinnie.

While attending Goodwill's CPS program he has learned many valuable skills including how to work better with others, share, and be a good friend. Vinnie is able to manage his own money and ultimately hope to have a job of his own. 

Victoria has been making great strides during her work experience in the maintenance department at the YMCA Dunmore. She has been in her position for one year and came to Goodwill through the Office of Developmental Programs.

She greets everyone with an infection smile and is quick to make small talk. Her hard work and dedication shine through everything she does and Victoria is on the path to success. 

Your gift can help us create a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
