Eliminating Barriers. Providing Opportunities. Strengthening Communities.
Palmetto Goodwill’s programs and services are funded through the sale of generously donated household goods and clothing in our 33 retail stores across lower South Carolina. More than 86% of every dollar Goodwill generates helps provide support, education, and job training for members of our community.
Thanks to our wonderful donors and shoppers, in 2020 we were able to provide over 85,925 services to 16,142 unique individuals in lower South Carolina. We also helped place 2,565 people in new jobs, served 1,296 veterans, and diverted 14 million pounds of goods from local landfills.
Palmetto Goodwill continues to grow and evolve while staying true to our mission of offering sustainable employment opportunities and related support services to those in need. To that end, in the summer of 2018 Palmetto Goodwill leadership began developing a 2025 strategic plan to define and give greater focus to our efforts. The resulting plan is vetted, challenging and achievable, and establishes a well-defined framework for Goodwill’s future growth, mission advancement, and funding.
