Goodwill Kentucky

At Goodwill Kentucky, our mission is bold: to end poverty in Kentucky through the power of work and second chances. Every donation, whether it’s clothing or a monetary gift, fuels a cycle of opportunity that changes lives.

When you give to Goodwill, 90 cents of every dollar goes right back to support Kentuckians through job training, education, and barrier-removal programs. Your gift isn’t just a donation; it’s an investment in someone’s future.

We operate 12 Opportunity Centers statewide and 4 of them are right here in Louisville. These centers serve as one-stop shops for career coaching, education, and community resources. Programs like RISE (Reintegrating Individuals Successfully Every Day) support justice-involved individuals, Last Mile to Work provides reliable transportation to jobs and training, and our Excel Center here in Louisville the only tuition-free adult high school in Kentucky offers adults the chance to earn their diploma and open new career pathways.

At Goodwill, we believe in offering a hand up, not a hand out. Every donation is more than a gift; it’s a second chance. Together, we can transform lives, strengthen communities, and move Kentucky closer to a future without poverty.

When you give to Goodwill, you do a lot of good.
