Goodwill runs a social enterprise: people donate used clothing and household goods, Goodwill sells them in its thrift stores, and the proceeds fund rehabilitation and job programs. Donating and shopping are the main ways the public supports the mission.
GISF stands out for the size of its disabled workforce, the largest in Florida, with about 1,000 of its 3,000 employees being people with disabilities, reflecting Goodwill's role as both a trainer and a direct employer.
GISF operates 35 retail stores and 56 attended donation centers across Broward and Miami-Dade counties, with revenue of about $178 million. It is one of the 18 largest employers in South Florida.
Beyond retail, the organization runs entrepreneurial divisions, including apparel and flag manufacturing, custodial services, laundry services, and third-party logistics, that generate revenue and provide paid work for people building skills.
GISF's mission focuses on rehabilitation, on-the-job training, work experience, and job placement for the region's working-age people with disabilities, a population numbering in the hundreds of thousands across South Florida.
David Landsberg serves as president and CEO, leading both the retail and manufacturing operations and the workforce programs they fund.
Goodwill accepts clean, gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares, books, and many household items; check the donation guidelines before a large drop-off. Donations go to 56 attended donation centers across the two counties.
Donations are tax-deductible, and donors should keep a receipt and an itemized list for their records. For a full breakdown, see our guide on what Goodwill accepts.
Goodwill Industries of South Florida is a 501(c)(3) organization, and revenue from its stores and business divisions funds its mission programs. Its EIN for tax-deductible cash gifts is 59-0866126.
The combination of retail and manufacturing divisions means GISF can offer a wide range of paid work and training to people with disabilities.
Both Goodwill and the Salvation Army run thrift stores funded by donated goods, but Goodwill focuses on job training and employment, with GISF emphasizing employment for people with disabilities. The Salvation Army funds recovery and broad social services.
For donated clothing and housewares in Miami and Broward, either is a strong option; if your priority is employment for people with disabilities, GISF is distinctive at scale.
