Over 150,000 pounds of fresh produce was donated to the Food Bank of Eastern & Central N.C and other non-profits in 2017. Everything the GCF Farm grows is donated. We could not have done it without the strong support and efforts of our volunteers.
Volunteers assist with seeding, planting, cultivating, and harvesting in the greenhouse or on the fields.

Mission Statement
"To create and provide education, employment and life enrichment opportunities regionally, nationally, and internationally for people who desire to improve the quality of their lives."
Description
The Goodwill Community Foundation (GCF ) supports programs and services for people throughout eastern North Carolina by providing grants to Goodwill Industries of Eastern North Carolina (GIENC) and tax-exempt organizations in eastern North Carolina and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) throughout the world. In addition, GCF provides facilities and Internet sites for employment, education, and life enrichment.
The programs supported by GCF continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of the people it serves. These programs include:
GCF Family Support Services(tm), GCF Volunteer & Farm Services, GCFLearnFree.org
GCFAprendeLibre.org, GCFAprendeLivre.org, GCF Accounting Services(tm)
GCF funds the construction of facilities and programs to assist people with job opportunities, training, and life-skills preparation for adults and children with barriers to a quality life. It provide resources to GIENC and other organizations that enable them to provide programs, facilities, training, and life-skills opportunities for people who desire a better life.
Due to the low cost of store merchandise and the superior wages received by store staff, its retail program is consistently one of the top three efficient programs among the 172 Goodwill organizations in the United States. More importantly, no Goodwill Industries serves more people each year than GIENC.
