“501(c)(3) status. Goodwill manufacturing shares the mission of its parent company, which is to provide training, employment, and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence. Such disabilities or disadvantages include physical or intellectual disabilities, mental health issues, skill limitations, criminal background, lack of education and job preparation, communication challenges, and other socio-economic disadvantages. Goodwill pursues its mission in two ways. The first is by employing people with disabilities and disadvantages within the organization's own operations. The second is by providing social services, community programs, vocational training, transitional employment, employment services, and supportive services for individuals in southeastern wisconsin and northern illinois who have disabilities or are disadvantaged or have other special needs, in order to enhance their employment opportunities, prevent or alleviate rehabilitation problems, and facilitate their ability to live independently in the community. Beginning with its first workshop in a milwaukee church basement, where donations were sorted and prepared for sale in a small store nearby, goodwill has offered what its founder described as "a chance, not charity" to people who were labeled unemployable. To fulfill its primary purposes of employment and self-sufficiency for people with disabilities or disadvantages, goodwill takes an entrepreneurial approach. Over the years, goodwill has pursued a variety of enterprises in order to help prepare individuals for employment and place them in jobs both in the community and within goodwill's own operations. Goodwill manufacturing is one of those enterprises; it provides commercial laundry services to private companies and operates a recycling program. Goodwill manufacturing promotes the mission of goodwill by creating opportunities to employ individuals with disadvantages and/or disabilities, as well as providing on-the-job training and support.”
