About Goodwill
Since 1947, Goodwill has helped thousands of individuals with disabilities and other barriers onto a path toward reclaiming their independence. We operate three divisions: contracts, retail and workforce development. Each contributes to the community and well being of others in an important and diverse way.Goodwill serves 23 parishes throughout Southeastern Louisiana. As we look to the future, there are an increasing number of individuals in need of our help. It is only with the continued support of individuals and businesses in our communities that we can continue what we do best—put people to work.
