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.
