Goodwill Industries of Houston

Gwh operated 55 retail stores in 2023, providing employment for a total of 2,108 individuals over the course of the year. These stores sold gently used clothing, furniture, household goods, and other items to the community at low cost, while providing revenue to fund job creation and training programs. Revenues do not include contributions of donated goods estimated to be $87,662,087. If these contributions were included in revenues, the total revenues would be $206,290,737. (note: 2,108 employees includes a small number of staff engaged in workforce development and recycling operations, who were not tracked separately.)

Gwh's job connection service centers provide job training and placement for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. Services include community referrals, work readiness training, life skills and money management, job skills training (in-house or by referral), job search assistance, vocational guidance, job placement services, and job retention services. In 2023, Goodwill featured programs serving persons with disabilities, histories of incarceration, youth, and at-risk families. Last year, Goodwill served over 10,000 individuals in the community. Revenues do not include federal grants of $410,314. If these grants were included in revenues, the total revenue would be $4,624,890.
