Goodwill Industries of Eastern North Carolina

“To create and provide education, employment and life enrichment opportunities for people who desire to improve the quality of their lives.”

The gently used clothing and household items received by GIENC® are used to help put people to work in our 36 GCF Donation Centers & Stores® throughout eastern North Carolina.  Your gently used clothing and household items begin their work the minute they arrive at the GCF Donation Center & Store®. GIENC® translates the value of your gently used clothing and household items into wages, benefits and work environments.

How We Used Our Resources in 2012:

Employment – GIENC® provided employment opportunities to 593 people through its 36 GCF Donation Centers & Stores serving 16 counties located throughout eastern North Carolina in 2012.

Education – GIENC® provided free online curriculum to over 4.7 million people, enabling them to acquire the needed English, math, and technology skills required for life success.

Life Enrichment – The GCF Farm, donated approximately 22,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Community volunteers helped with the planting, harvesting  and cultivation of the fruits and vegetables that went to the Food Bacnk. Volunteers also assembled school kits and holiday stockings for eastern North Carolina Boys and Girls Clubs and flood buckets for victims for hurricanes and other severe weather events. Volunteers also sewed gowns for premature babies.
