Mission and programs · 2022

• DONATED GOODS RETAIL: GOODWILL RETAIL STORES AND DONATION STATIONS STAND AT THE CORE OF OUR MISSION: TO PROVIDE JOB TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER DISADVANTAGES. IN 2022, WE HANDLED OVER 25,000,000 WORTH OF GENTLY USED CLOTHING, FURNITURE, AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. THESE WERE METICULOUSLY SORTED, PRICED, AND SOLD ACROSS GOODWILL'S 19 RETAIL LOCATIONS, OUR CLEARANCE STORE, AND OUR ECOMMERCE PLATFORM. THIS ENDEAVOR NOT ONLY OFFERED OUR SHOPPERS SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS ON HIGH-QUALITY, AFFORDABLE GOODS BUT ALSO GENERATED THE ESSENTIAL REVENUE TO BACK OUR PIVOTAL JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS. OFTEN HAILED AS THE 'ORIGINAL RECYCLER,' GOODWILL HAS CHAMPIONED THE REUSE AND RECYCLING OF DONATIONS SINCE 1902, NATIONALLY, AND LOCALLY SINCE 1948. BY THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR, WE REGISTERED OVER 1.5 MILLION TRANSACTIONS, WITH 259,668 GENEROUS DONORS CONTRIBUTING THEIR ITEMS. THIS CONCERTED EFFORT DIVERTED OVER 28.1 MILLION POUNDS OF MATERIAL FROM LOCAL LANDFILLS. NOTABLY, THIS INCLUDES COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS THAT FOUND A NEW LIFE THROUGH THE DELL RECONNECT RECYCLING PROGRAM.

• MISSION SERVICES: SOUTH TEXAS HAS HISTORICALLY GRAPPLED WITH HIGH RATES OF POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT. GOODWILL, A LEADING FORCE IN JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS, FIRMLY BELIEVES IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF WORK. BEYOND THE TANGIBLE BENEFITS OF EARNING A PAYCHECK, WORK INSTILLS SELF-CONFIDENCE, FOSTERS FRIENDSHIPS, CULTIVATES INDEPENDENCE, AND RESTORES DIGNITY AND TRUST. THROUGH THIS, WE'RE ENRICHING THE SOUTH TEXAS COMMUNITIES WE PROUDLY SERVE. A UNIVERSAL BARRIER THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO APPROACH GOODWILL FACE IS THE ABSENCE OF MARKETABLE JOB SKILLS. BY OFFERING TRAINING IN FOUNDATIONAL DIGITAL ABILITIES AND BY AIDING IN JOB PLACEMENT AND RETENTION, WE HELP INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER DISADVANTAGES EITHER ENTER OR RE- INTEGRATE INTO THE WORKFORCE. OUR APPROACH IS HOLISTIC - WE AIM TO ALIGN THE UNIQUE SKILLS, INTERESTS, AND WORK PREFERENCES OF OUR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WITH THE NEEDS OF LOCAL EMPLOYERS. MANY WHOM WE SERVE ARE EX- OFFENDERS, STRIVING TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES. TO SUPPORT THEM, WE'VE PIONEERED RESUME WORKSHOPS IN BOTH COUNTY JAILS AND FEDERAL PRISONS. THESE WORKSHOPS NOT ONLY EQUIP THEM WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS BUT ALSO LINK THEM WITH RESOURCES OUTSIDE THE PRISON WALLS TO BOLSTER THEIR CHANCES OF EMPLOYMENT. IN 2022, THE MISSION SERVICES DIVISION OF GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF SOUTH TEXAS EXTENDED ITS OUTREACH BY PROVIDING FREE JOB TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT, AND OTHER VITAL SUPPORT SERVICES TO 2,196 INDIVIDUALS IN THE SOUTH TEXAS REGION. WE ALSO MODERNIZED OUR APPROACH WITH THE "LET'S GET BACK TO WORK" INITIATIVE, AIMING TO SERVE OUR PARTICIPANTS VIRTUALLY. STRATEGICALLY LOCATED ACROSS OUR 20-COUNTY SERVICE DOMAIN, OUR THREE JOB CONNECTIONS CENTERS ACHIEVED A REMARKABLE FEAT - SECURING STABLE EMPLOYMENT FOR 149 PROGRAM GRADUATES. THIS SUCCESS HAS AMPLIFIED COMMUNITY DEMAND FOR OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AS OUR ACHIEVEMENTS IN PLACING THOSE WHO'VE FACED SEVERE EMPLOYMENT CHALLENGES BECOME INCREASINGLY EVIDENT. OUR STORES, DONATION STATIONS, AND CONTRACT SERVICES ALSO SERVE AS CRUCIAL PILLARS SUPPORTING OUR MISSION. IN A TESTAMENT TO OUR COMMITMENT, WE'VE DIRECTLY EMPLOYED 10% OF OUR PROGRAM GRADUATES, WHO'VE EARNED AN AVERAGE WAGE OF 14.46 PER HOUR. OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES DON'T END THERE. IN 2022, WE OFFERED FREE INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE TO 836 INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES (WITH INCOMES BELOW 60,000) THROUGH THE VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE (VITA) PROGRAM, FACILITATED COMMUNITY SERVICE RESTITUTION FOR 43 INDIVIDUALS, AND PROVIDED CLOTHING VOUCHERS TO 511 RECIPIENTS. FUNDING FOR THESE INDISPENSABLE HUMAN SERVICES ARISES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES - FEES FOR SERVICES FROM REFERRING AGENCIES, REVENUE FROM OUR CONTRACT SERVICES AND RETAIL OPERATIONS (INCLUDING E-COMMERCE), AND THE BENEVOLENT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL DONORS AND BUSINESSES. GOODWILL SOUTH TEXAS CONTINUOUSLY STRIVES TO INNOVATE, DEEPENING OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, RAISING AWARENESS OF OUR MISSION, AND FOSTERING INCREASED PUBLIC SUPPORT. WHILE WE VALUE AND MAINTAIN OUR GRASSROOTS EFFORTS, WE'RE ACTIVELY EXPANDING OUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT. YOU CAN DISCOVER MORE ABOUT OUR WORK AND IMPACT BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT GOODWILLSOUTHTEXAS.COM. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO ENGAGE WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS INCLUDING FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, LINKEDIN, AND YOUTUBE.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
