For Goodness Sake, Inc.

For Goodness Sake, Inc. For Goodness Sake is a 501(c)(3) that helps the formerly homeless & people coming out of crisis by giving them donated furniture/household goods.

We help the formerly homeless who are moving into a home; our goal is to help them as they are "making it home." We believe in the inherent goodness of people and that they deserve second chances. Horrible circumstances can be visited upon good people; we believe that the only thing wrong in getting knocked down is the decision not to rise again and surmount those conditions. Our clients are fille

d with the determination to succeed in independent living and to live positive, productive lives for themselves, their families, and society at large. With compassion rooted in human dignity, our work transforms empty living spaces into homes. We provide our clients with assistance in the form of furniture and household goods as they make the transition to living independently in their own space. We don’t just help because we can; we help because it is who and what we are. If your heart aligns with the conviction that giving is its own reward, that caring shown to the everyone among us is the compassion and kindness we as humans need to extend to one another, then perhaps you’d care to join us in this labor of love. For Goodness Sake, Inc is a 501c3 that helps the formerly homeless/people coming out of crisis by giving them donated furniture/household goods.
