Goodwill Myth Debunked: "If you shop at Goodwill you're taking clothing away from those who need it." The reality is that even if people of all incomes bought all of their clothing second hand there would still be enough. With your generous support, around 93 million pounds were kept out of local landfills. Roughly 3/4 of this happens in one of our 35 retail stores or 2 outlets. #goodwill #mission #localgoodwill #centraltexas #mythdebunked

About us
For over six decades, Goodwill Central Texas has relentlessly focused on a single goal: Transforming generations by empowering people through education, career training, and work. We believe that education and work are the only true pathways out of poverty, and strive to provide opportunities for people in our community who face obstacles to sustainable employment: people who have disabilities, people lacking education, people with criminal backgrounds, people facing homelessness, and youth lacking opportunity.
