Your donations. Your purchases. New possibilities.
In 2025, Goodwill of Western and Northern Connecticut helped 20,371 people access opportunities and support. When you donate gently used items or shop in our stores, you help fund job training, career coaching, and services that empower people to find employment and build greater independence—right here in Connecticut.
Behind every number is a person with a goal. Meet Shannon and learn how hands-on training helped her turn determination into a job in food service.
