At Goodwill Manasota we strive to enhance the dignity and quality of life of individuals and families by helping people reach their full potential through education, skills training and the power of work.

Through the sales of your donated goods, we’re able to provide employment training, job placement and career services and other Mission Services that lead to self-sufficiency. We invest our time and resources in those folks who ask for a hand up, not a hand out, to those not looking for charity, but a chance.

Our mission is to assist people with disabilities and other barriers to employment by providing job skills training and employment opportunities.

At Goodwill we believe in providing opportunity – a chance, not charity. When you donate your gently-used items to Goodwill, you extend a helping hand to another person in the community and you help us change a life.

Each of our success stories begins with your donation. As a leader in the recycling effort, we take pride in turning your donations into jobs, homes, hope and success for less fortunate friends and neighbors.
