Goodwill Industries of Wayne and Holmes Counties is a small nonprofit in the professional training and coaching sector, based in Wooster, Ohio, serving communities in Wayne and Holmes Counties. It began in 1980 as Goodwill Industries of Wayne County and expanded to Holmes County in 1990, operating independently under a local Board of Trustees. Its mission is to help people reach their highest level of independence and success through training and employment-related services, focusing on individuals facing barriers to work such as literacy gaps, transportation challenges, prior criminal records, or a history of substance abuse. The organization comprises three divisions: Workforce Development, Industrial Services, and Retail/Donated Goods, with the latter two offering on-the-job training opportunities for program participants. It operates five stores in Wooster, Orrville, Rittman, Millersburg, and Loudonville, and its programming serves nearly 2,000 local individuals each year.
