About Us

As a member of Goodwill Industries International, we are a part of the world’s largest and most successful network providing employment and training services for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment.

Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries was founded in 1916 and is one of the largest providers of rehabilitation services in the State of Ohio. The total number of individuals served in 2022 was 1,769 and total placed in community employment was 759. We served 371 Veterans in 2022 and recycled more than 44,098,062 lbs of donated material as well as cardboard, steel and office paper.

The amount of government assistance that was saved was $7,660,132  and the total economic impact was $64,199,834.

The mission of Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries is to provide rehabilitation services to persons of working age who are physically, mentally, psychologically or socially disabled and vocationally limited for the purpose of maximizing their vocational independence.
