About Us

Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay, a nonprofit founded in 1919, provides job training, employment experience and life skills, enabling disadvantaged and disabled individuals to achieve self-sufficiency. We do this through financially sound community-based businesses that provide vital vocational services to our community. We served 2,300 individuals and families and placed 369 people into competitive employment during 2008.  To contact our headquarters or one of our community service centers, please Contact Us.

Goodwill Industries of the Greater East Bay generates approximately $22 million per year, the majority of which supports the paid job training we provide to participants and our community programs.  For every dollar we generate, 91 cents goes directly into our programs.  For more information on our finances, please see our most recent audited financial statements and IRS 990 Form under our Publications.  If you would like more information, please contact our Community and Fund Development Department at (510) 698-7223.
