Hire Goodwill

You can help us fulfill our mission by using Goodwill's Sheltered Work Center to help with your packaging, assembling, shrink wrap products, collating, sorting, and shipping services.  All jobs are 100% quality controlled.

The Work Center empowers individuals with disabilities by providing real-world work experiences.  We provide our workers with a pleasant, safe working environment where they learn new skills and earn money for the work they finish.

Our program participants are available to fulfill your production-related work 5 days a week Monday through Friday. Before any job is begun, we perform a time study to determine whether the program participants can do the job, the number of workers needed for the project and the amount of labor involved. Price is determined upon the time study information. You will receive either a "piece-rate" or “total-project price” quote.
