The new location will also have an office and meeting space for Goodwill’s mission services. Goodwill employees will be able to serve people seeking job training services. The mission of Goodwill Keystone Area is to support persons with disabilities and other barriers to independence in achieving their fullest potential as workers and as members of the broader community. In support of the mission, Goodwill collects and sells donated items in more than 48 stores and donation centers in Pennsylvania 22 counties, including Schuylkill. Goodwill’s philosophy is that work is a building block of community and that when people are given an opportunity to work, their self-esteem increases and other problems are minimized.
