Our Mission

For the third year in a row, Goodwill Industries International has selected Goodwill Industries of Arkansas as its Advocacy Leader for 2012.

Goodwill's first donation center and bookstore combo in state opens in Malvern! Located at 1900 Martin Luther King in Malvern, the new site provides easy access for donations of clothing, shoes, electronics, toys, and more, along with hundreds of books inside sorted by genre and author.

On May 8 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is hosting their fourth annual “Change a Life” Career and Information Fair at the Clear Channel Metroplex, 10800 Colonel Glenn Road in Little Rock. The event is free and open to the public.

Join us on May 9 to enjoy lunch and experience firsthand what Goodwill is all about: real people experiencing real challenges and achieving real success. Goodwill's annual awards luncheon is a celebration of the accomplishments of amazing Goodwill program participants who, with the assistance of Goodwill, have overcome various barriers to improve their lives through career, training and education programs. It’s also an opportunity to recognize the business and community partners that help make their success possible.

Goodwill will be accepting donations at the Annual Arkansas Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 21 at Heifer International in downtown Little Rock (1 World Avenue). From11 a.m. to 4 p.m., festivalgoers are encouraged to donate gently used items and e-waste (computers, printers, TVs and CD players) at the Goodwill booth.

Donate to Goodwill through April 15 and enter to win a FREE house cleaning! It's a win-win proposition! In exchange for those clothes in your closet you never wear, or those dishes in your cabinet you never use, you could win a FREE HOUSE CLEANING* - get all the details here!

When most people donate to or shop at Goodwill Industries of Arkansas, they don’t realize they are taking care of the Earth and practicing green living. Most people just think they are getting rid of old sweaters, stacks of well-read novels or an old PC, but they are actually taking part in something much bigger. Goodwill is your partner for a cleaner, greener community.

Did you know that Goodwill Industries of Arkansas accepts electronics for free recycling? Electronics can be dropped off at any of Goodwill’s 22 stores or four donation centers. Easy, convenient and free, donate unwanted electronics to Goodwill instead of disposing of them in your garbage and ultimately in the landfill.
