           Goodwill, Serving the People of Southern Los Angeles County, is a community resource providing skill development and work opportunities to help people feel whole through the power of work.  Goodwill Long Beach and South Bay is a tax-exempt organization qualified under Internal Revenue code section 501(c) (3).

          GoodwillSolac was established in 1929 in response to the great depression, which brought an increased focus to the thousands of people out of work and to people with disabilities. In 1945 GoodwillSolac responded to GI's returning from World War II to train, find jobs and assimilate back into a peacetime economy.

 

          Today, GoodwillSolac serve individuals with barriers to employment in a highly populated, culturally diverse and growing community.

 

          GoodwillSolac’s main facility is located at 800 West Pacific Coast Highway and houses its administrative offices, training programs, processing operations and transportation fleet.

 

          GoodwillSolac operates sixteen brick and mortar retail operations, Shopgoodwill.com, its e-commerce operations, and LiNKS Sign Language & Interpreting Services.  GoodwillSolac operates twenty-seven owned, leased or partnered sites (retail stores, attended donation centers, and workforce development programs) within the southern Los Angeles County area.

 

GoodwillSolac believes that putting people to work not only benefits the individual but also the communities’ economic vitality through taxes, spending power, real estate values, quality of life, and relief to social services and welfare systems.
