About us
Together, we create opportunities that changes lives and strengthen communities. Since 1939, we've been serving the Inland Northwest by helping people become independent and self-sufficient through our social service programs. We help people who have barriers to employment through training, work assessment, and job development. We help people who are homeless, or about to become homeless, get into stable housing. And we help people who are on a fixed income manage their finances so that they have stable housing and necessities. Every year, we serve thousands of people in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Our programs are funded primarily through the sale of donated items in our retail and online stores. Out of every dollar earned from the sale of donated goods in retail and online stores, 85 cents funds our social service programs. Each year, we keep more than 20 million pounds of textiles, books, shoes, dishes, sporting goods, furniture, computers, lamps, electronics and more out of our Inland Northwest landfills. We use the items people don't want anymore to fund life-changing programs. We maximize the power of donated goods through sales in our retail and online stores, then in our Outlet Store, and finally through Salvage and recycling. We look to protect the triple bottom -- our people, our planet, and the profit that funds our programs -- through strategic planning and best practices. We believe in the value of each and every individual. We treat all people with dignity and respect. We put people first, and believe in the potential of individuals to make positive changes in their lives. We pursue and celebrate diversity. We believe in giving a hand up, not a hand out. We embrace innovation, continuous improvement, creativity, collaboration, and change. We honor our heritage by being socially, professionally, financially, and environmentally responsible.

This is Randy— his story is one of resilience and support. When Randy needed help finding a job, he turned to Goodwill’s Workforce and Family Services Employment Program. Lacking computer skills and facing the stress of unemployment, he partnered with our staff to build his resume, apply for jobs online, and practice his interview skills. In less than a month, Randy secured a full-time job! Today, he enjoys the stability of meaningful work and financial independence. Reflecting on his journey, Randy shares, 'Without Goodwill, my life would be more uncertain.' This is why we do what we do—helping empower individuals to succeed. Congratulations, Randy, on your hard-earned success! #WFS #CareerSuccess

At just 3 years old, Murrell was stricken with polio, leaving his right leg paralyzed. But that didn't stop him from living his life. With the help of a custom brace provided by the State Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Murrell took on life's challenges with strength and determination. Before joining Goodwill, Murrell “summered” cattle in Moscow mountains, worked at a mechanic in California, operated a service station in Idaho, and worked in the apple industry. In January 1955, Murrell began his journey with Goodwill as a repairman in the electrical appliance workshop. In 1958, he bought his own house, car, and was named Inland Empire Goodwill Worker of the Year! As we continue to celebrate 85 years of changing lives in the inland northwest, we honor his legacy today and are inspired by his unwavering spirit. #Inspiration #Goodwill #85years #Throwback #ThrowbackThursday
