Celebrating 60 Years!
Since 1966, Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids has been rooted in one simple belief: a hand up, not a handout. What started as a vision shared by a handful of local leaders has grown into decades of opportunity, dignity, and hope for thousands of people right here in our community.
For six decades, donations, partnerships, and dedicated supporters have advanced our mission, helping individuals build skills, find work, and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.
To our participants, employees, donors, partners, and supporters, thank you for being the heart of Goodwill GR for 60 years, and here’s to many more!

Have a Donation? Schedule a Pick-up!
Donation pick-ups are available from a third-party partner, ReSupply, a Veteran run organization. Any and all items are accepted! All eligible items are donated, while the remaining items are ethically disposed of. The pick-up fee reflects the operating costs and is much smaller than a usual moving company or junk hauler fee. (Fee is not tax deductible)
Jobs & Training
Training and skill attainment is the focus of our programs. We take a holistic approach to our services to best meet the needs of our participants. The key to success for long-term placements and interventions comes from partnerships with local businesses.
Sustainability
Goodwill organizations help communities extend the life of usable items, lessen the amount of material sent to landfills, and decrease reliance on the extraction and production of virgin materials.
Last year, Goodwill recovered the value of more than 4 billion pounds of people’s used goods, giving these items a second life.
