About Goodwill Industries of South Florida

Miami | Ft. Lauderdale | Keys - Your support funds job training for people with disabilities & other barriers to work. @GoodwillSFL

Goodwill also provides B2B services in janitorial services, commercial laundry, apparel manufacturing, and fulfillment and assembly services. We also produce U.S., state, city and custom flags through our Goodwill Flag Center.

The Need: There are over 460,000 (or 12.8%) out of 3.5 million people of working age that are classified as disabled with 82.3% among them not working, and 25% living below the poverty line.

The Results: Despite that great need, in 2018, the agency provided disability services to nearly 6,400 South Floridians and is the 17th largest employer in Miami.

How we do it: Goodwill engages in a unique social entrepreneurism model that funds services and employment for over 3,100 persons with disabilities in South Florida. Although most known for its Goodwill donation centers and retail stores, the organization’s other entrepreneurial businesses include Apparel Manufacturing, Custodial Services, Laundry Services and other Business Services, which directly train and employ a large number of people with disabilities while providing mission funding. South Florida’s Goodwill Industries is one of the most cost-effective non-profits in the U.S with 96% of its budget going directly to job training programs.

But our work is not easy or quick. It takes a long-term commitment to battle employment barriers such as physical or mental disabilities, economic instability, or lack of education. When you join the Goodwill Giving Circle, you join a select group of compassionate supporters who change the course of the 6,400 people we serve each year. Take that first step and show your goodwill.
