Goodwill runs a social enterprise: people donate used clothing and household goods, Goodwill sells them in its thrift stores, and the proceeds fund job training and support services. Donating and shopping are the main ways the public supports the mission.
In New Hampshire, the Goodwill stores are operated by Goodwill Northern New England, an autonomous 501(c)(3) that serves Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont from its headquarters in Gorham, Maine.
Goodwill Northern New England operates stores across New Hampshire, including in Manchester, Hudson, and Hooksett. Sales from those stores help fund the organization's programs, which reach across all three states it serves.
Those programs include workforce development plus disability and brain-injury services, a wider mission than many Goodwills. Together they support more than 17,000 people a year. Tripp Harrison became president and CEO in 2023.
Goodwill Northern New England runs 29 stores across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, with revenue of about $92 million. Serving three states from one organization is common in northern New England, where the states are small and closely connected.
That structure lets the organization cover both New Hampshire's cities and its rural towns from a shared base of programs and stores.
