Overview

Goodwill of Greater Washington is a nonprofit that provides education, job training and employment services to people facing barriers to work in the Washington metropolitan area. It funds these programs through donated-goods retail stores, charitable giving and contract operations in custodial services, pest control and grounds maintenance. Its stores collect and resell clothing and household goods across the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The organization also operates the Goodwill Excel Center, an adult charter high school where residents who left school can earn a diploma. Founded in 1935, it is headquartered in Washington, DC.
