Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley is a local non-profit organization offering thrift retail stores, donation centers, and career development mission services.
Goodwill Industries was founded in the early 1900’s with the purpose of “giving a hand up, not a hand out.” Today, Goodwill organizations operate regionally and provide meaningful services to their communities including thrift retail stores, donation centers, and career development mission services.
Here in Frederick, 2021 will be an exciting year for Goodwill.
Along with their new leadership team, they’re launching an online career services site, MyCareerAdvisor.com in early 2021. They will also be celebrating the opening of their new campus, including new training programs and services, and the much anticipated Veteran Service Center in Partnership with Platoon 22 onsite at Goodwill.
