Description
Over 65 Years of Helping People!
Goodwill-Suncoast was founded in October 1954 in downtown St. Petersburg. We began by assisting a handful of people with disabilities to gain work skills and paychecks. Now we help thousands of people overcome a variety of barriers to employment through training and employment programs, low-cost apartment buildings for seniors and people with disabilities, work activities centers for adults with developmental disabilities, as well as rehabilitative community corrections programs. We have a variety or programs that support our community and contribute to community conservation through recycling. Goodwill-Suncoast operates 20 retail stores and three outlet stores to support all of our services and programs. We have volunteer opportunities available in many of our program areas.
