About us

In 2021 Goodwill of Delaware & Delaware County celebrated 100 years of service! As a leading workforce development provider we employ more than 1,100 people throughout the state of Delaware, and Delaware County, PA. We offer an array of job skills and employment programs to help people prepare for work and to deliver a qualified workforce to current and prospective employers in our region. We are a mission-driven, 501(c)(3) non-profit, working to improve the quality of life for people with barriers to self-sufficiency, through the Power of Work! We serve our neighbors – the differently-abled, veterans, those with skills gaps, justice-involved individuals and more – with job search and placement programs, hiring events, soft skills, digital skills, case management and vocation-specific training programs. Our services are made possible by individuals who donate their gently-used household items and clothing, shoppers who purchase those goods in our stores and Outlet, and organizations who contract for services through Goodwill Staffing Services. Whether you’re a job seeker in need of skills to land a new job, an employer needing to increase or upskill your workforce, a community member with items to donate, or a thrifter in search of their next bargain treasure, there’s a place for you at Goodwill! Follow us here, and visit www.GoodwillDE.org to learn more and get involved! Our program areas: Workforce Development | Recycling Center | Goodwill Staffing Services | Goodwill Industrial Services | Donated Goods/Retail & eCommerce

  • 📢 Community Spotlight: WSFS Bank Volunteers! On June 12, our Work A Day Earn A Pay team was joined by an incredible group of WSFS Bank team members at the Biden Welcome Center. As part of WSFS’ Half Day of Service, the WSFS volunteers dedicated their time to help with litter abatement and learned about our mission. WSFS Bank team members truly live up to their motto, 'We Stand for Service,' by giving back to the community and making a positive impact. Thank you, @WSFS, for your commitment to service and for making a difference! 🙌💚 #GoodwillMission #WSFSBank #WorkADayEarnAPay #MakingADifference
