    When you donate to Goodwill Industries of Alberta, you support programs that connect Albertans with disabilities to meaningful employment. Goodwill Industries of Alberta really makes a difference in your community. We work hard to turn your donations of new and gently used clothing and household items into opportunities for people with disabilities. We do this by accepting these donations and selling them in our thrift stores. Throughout Alberta you will find 13 Goodwill retail thrift stores and 21 donation centres. Each facility is staffed by Goodwillians who believe “We are Family.” We are a major recycler of a growing range of donated items. Donated goods that are unsuitable for resale are responsibly recycled as cleaning cloths and other reusable materials through our post-retail operations. In 2013, we diverted 3.7 million kilos of household items out of the landfill and recycled 13,879 kilos of clothing in our post-retail operations.
