Store Manager

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Goodwill West Texas provides employment services and programs to help our employees, as well as members of our community, fulfill their potential. In collaboration with a network of other local resource providers, we continually strive to fulfill our mission of "providing opportunities for people with barriers to employment." A barrier is defined as a disability or disadvantage to employment. 

Goodwill West Texas is a lot more than “just a thrift store.” Through our Core Values (Unity, Service, Integrity, Teamwork, People & Growth), Goodwill is really about changing lives and providing self-sufficiency and dignity through work. That’s why 87 cents of every dollar earned in our stores goes directly to our mission. __________________________________________________________________________________
