Goodwill Industries of New Mexico
Our mission is to provide skill development, work opportunities and career-building services to people with barriers to employment.
We define barriers as:
• learning disabilities
• homelessness
• single parenthood
• language barriers
• extended absence from the workforce
• felony history
• lack of external supports
• substance abuse
• domestic violence
• mental and physical challenges
• brain injuries
• difficulty interviewing
• lack of education and intellectual disabilities
Good employees are the basic building block of our economy. A good job is the foundation for pursuing a quality life, along with education and a positive attitude. At Goodwill Industries of New Mexico, we support both.
We are more than just a retail store. The revenue we receive from sales of gently used clothing and goods is applied to our Workforce Development programs to achieve our mission.
In 2009, we provided assessment, training and/or referral services to 9,506 New Mexicans and placed 679 New Mexicans in competitive, community employment. We cannot continue to achieve these milestones without the support of your donations and purchases. Thank you!
