Goodwill is more than a thrift store. Sure, it’s the best place to discover unique items to build a personal style and a trove of brand name, low-cost merchandise. But Goodwill's retail locations fund a much bigger mission – a business that is about changing lives. As a not-for-profit leader, Goodwill offers job training and other services to help people with disabilities and disadvantages achieve their maximum independence. Through Goodwill, job seekers, individuals with special needs, families, and other members of the community gain self esteem and become independent, self-sufficient citizens. Lives are changed through the Power of Work. Mission Statement: The mission of Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth is to empower people with disabilities, disadvantages, and other barriers to employment so that they may achieve maximum independence.
