We are more than just a thrift store. You may know us mostly for that, but there is so much more to the heart of what Goodwill does. Funds raised from your donations stay in Arkansas and fund job training programs, career services, and more programs to help Arkansans overcome barriers to employment. Our stores exist to help cover the cost of our programs including our Goodwill Training and Education Centers that serve adults looking to earn their high school diploma in The Excel Center or obtain industry-leading credentials and certifications at The Academy at Goodwill. Changing lives through education, training, and employment. That's what we do and we thank you for your support. #goodwillar #lookforthegood #teambluear #mission

Goodwill is committed to the sustainability, safety and beauty of the planet! This is why we're saying goodbye to single-use plastic shopping bags. 👋 Starting September 3, all Goodwill Industries of Arkansas retail stores will discontinue the use of single-use plastic bags. You can help reduce waste by bringing your own bag or purchasing a reusable bag at checkout for a nominal fee. Join us in our mission to reduce plastic waste. Together, we can make a difference, one bag at a time. #sustainability #goodwillar #lookforthegood
