Goodwill's Headquarters also houses a full-service HLAC certified laundry service providing local hospitals with 3 million pounds of laundry cleaning services. House Rules:

Safety in action!

During a routine walkthrough at one of our stores, our team caught three of our incredible transportation crew members doing what they do best: loading and unloading donations with total precision and top-notch safety practices.

They weren't doing it for the recognition; they were just doing their thing! But when you see excellence, you have to celebrate it. Our team paused on the spot to shout them out, thank them for their dedication, and give them the recognition (and rewards!) they truly deserve.

Thank you to our transportation heroes for keeping our team, our donors, and our community safe every single day.

When Perla walked across the high school graduation stage, her Take Stock in Children mentor, Melissa, was right there cheering her on. Today, Perla is taking her next big step into the nursing program at St. Johns River State College, a dream built on hard work and the support of a dedicated mentor. This degree will give her the foundational education she needs to pursue a future career in the medical field.

Throughout her academic journey, the Take Stock in Children Putnam program has provided invaluable support by helping her explore fitting career paths through mentorship and alleviating financial burdens with a college scholarship. Grateful for the kindness shown by the people she has met through the program, Perla feels fully supported as she works toward her goals.

Mentorship and community support change lives, creating real pathways from classroom potential to long-term success. When we invest in our local students, we build a stronger future for all of Putnam County.
