Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona, alongside Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona, joined Goodwill colleagues from all across the U.S. in Washington, DC to advocate for federal investments that strengthen workforce development and accelerate circular economy solutions. As the state’s largest thrift retailer, we keep hundreds of millions of pounds of donated goods in circulation each year, driving sustainability and reducing waste. We’re expanding this impact through new partnerships and innovative approaches that show what’s possible when policymakers and community organizations work together to protect the planet.
Revenue from secondhand sales fuels our mission, providing people with free, local access to career development, training, and education. Continued advocacy helps ensure federal programs grow these opportunities and support the vital services our communities rely on.
