More than 31,000 people with disabilities or vocational disadvantages benefit from Goodwill Southern California’s education, job training and placement programs annually. GSC operates 58 retail stores, 40 attended donation centers, three campuses and 21 workforce/training centers in the counties of Los Angeles (north of Rosecrans Ave.), Riverside and San Bernadino.
Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, gave GSC its highest four-star ranking for seven consecutive years, because GSC spends 93 percent of its budget on programs that transform lives through the power of work.

All retail purchases support job training and placement programs for people with disabilities and other disadvantages. And with over 58 convenient locations open seven days a week, Goodwill makes for smart shopping.

Green since 1916
In 2007 Goodwill Southern California diverted over 20 million pounds of textile waste, electronics and paper from California landfills. We have been an eco-conscious organization for 93 years, and we do it through three business lines: our retail program, electronics recycling and secure shredding.
Every Goodwill location accepts donated electronics. Discarded electronics do not have to be in working order.
