Goodwill Retail Sites: Revenues from store sales fund Goodwill work programs.

A Letter to Our Friends As we reflect on last year, we are reminded of our mission. We believe that everyone has the right to experience the self-sufficiency and dignity that comes through work. We employed 120 people during 2009. For the second year, payroll, benefits, and taxes paid on behalf of Goodwill employees exceeded 2.125 million dollars. Goodwill assisted 115 ATR clients (folks with chemical dependency issues) during the year. The con-tinued economic downturn increased the need for services. Our public computer lab use increased by more than 50%. 1259 vouchers were given out for free mer-chandise in our stores. Goodwill supporters donated more than 3.885 million pounds of material. 294,000 shoppers purchased those goods spending an average of $9.90 per trans-action. Internet sales increased during the year and now comprise more than 12% of our retail sales The revenue generated by our donated goods division provides the neces-sary funding for our work program.

Executive Director Board President

Our recycling program processed more than 5.34 million pounds of material during 2009. The new Dell/Goodwill computer recycling pro-gram called “ReConnect” kept over 181,293 lbs of e-waste out of the waste stream. The recycling center was open 7 days a week during the year. This program keeps material out of the landfill and creates job opportunities for people with disabilities and other special needs.

Goodwill is blessed to have the support of so many. We thank all of you - our donors, volunteers, shoppers, business partners and employees - for helping create opportunities that put people to work. We appreciate your support and we pledge to continue our commitment to fulfilling the mission of Goodwill. If you would like to learn more about Goodwill, please visit our web site at www.wvgoodwill.org. Better still, call us and schedule a tour.
