President’s Message

Dear Friends and Supporters, 

Thank you.  

By donating your gently used items, shopping, volunteering your time, or giving through our various fundraising activities and events, you make a difference and give individuals with barriers to employment an opportunity to rebuild their lives. Veterans, older workers, youth, individuals with disabilities, and those formerly incarcerated all benefit from the services Goodwill Houston provides.  Our Job Connection Centers and our Goodwill Connect store, along with our Virtual Job Connection Center — hosted right here on our website — allow anyone to access our free programs and opportunities digitally or in person. 

Thanks to generous support from our community, we are helping put Houston back to work. Since 1945, Goodwill Houston has continued to establish itself as one of Houston’s leading nonprofits while at the same time contributing to the local economy and creating job opportunities for those in need. With over 50 retail locations and over 40 standalone Donation Centers, we are poised to fulfill our commitment to individuals, families, and our local community throughout Austin, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Walker, and Washington counties.  

We take great pride on the impact we’ve had in the Houston area for over 75 years and look forward to a future full of optimism. 

Most importantly, we couldn’t do it without your support. 

Sincerely, 

Steven P. Lufburrow
President and CEO
