Goodwill Northern New England

2020 Goals

Goodwill Northern New England (Goodwill NNE) is a nonprofit social enterprise that creates jobs, delivers needed services for people with diverse challenges, uses environmentally friendly products and processes – all while earning revenue to pay for and expand innovative workforce services in all three states. Goodwill NNE operates retail stores, health care and cleaning services which help fund the innovative workforce programs that empower individuals and families to find personal stability through work.

Our singular goal is to be instrumental in bringing 10,000 households in our region into stability by 2027.

April 23, 2020 – Little Black Dress Event, will be held at the Ocean Gateway. Featuring live and silent auctions, a selection of runway fashions of great Goodwill finds – modeled by friends and neighbors – and more!
