Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley

Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides employment services, education support, veteran assistance, and recycling-based retail programs to help individuals overcome barriers to work and financial stability across Frederick and Carroll Counties, Maryland. Its services are funded through donated goods and community support that power local job training and workforce development programs.

The organization serves job seekers, veterans, active military members, first responders, and adults seeking education or career advancement, with services designed to be accessible both in-person and online at no cost.

What They Do

Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley (Tax ID: 23-7047548) has served Frederick and Carroll Counties, Maryland, since 1969, with a mission of ending poverty through the power of work. The organization provides no-cost career development, training, and education resources to anyone in the community who needs help securing meaningful employment. These services are funded by the donations and purchases that flow through its Goodwill retail stores and online shop.

At the center of this work is the Career Services program, which is open to anyone at no cost. Job seekers can visit an in-person, self-service Career Center or use Goodwill’s online resources to access skills training, career coaching, résumé assistance, career assessment, industry certifications, and hiring events. The program also offers job readiness workshops, virtual personal branding webinars, and computer and digital skills training, giving participants the tools to move from a job to a long-term career. Participants can follow a structured path through the program with the Career Pathways Participant Handbook.

Veteran support is delivered through the Veteran Services Center (VSC), which Goodwill opened in Frederick in 2022 in partnership with the Maryland Department of Veterans and Military Families. The center offers career coaching, benefits navigation, and peer connection events for veterans, service members, and their families.

Goodwill’s retail operations power all of these programs while protecting the environment. Its stores resell donated clothing, household goods, and furniture, and whatever cannot be resold is recycled. Together, these efforts divert millions of pounds of material from Maryland landfills every year.
