Did you know? Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest has been serving our community since 1939? When we were first established as the Inland Empire Goodwill, our organization was:
π Housed in a small wooden shack in downtown Spokane, Washington. This is where our Administrative Building currently resides.
π 43 dollars in debt, which would equate to around $942 today.
π "Staffed" by Rev. Estabrook, his wife, and his two daughters.
π Provided job training through donation processing and sorting, retail work, looming, and repair of donated items.
Join us during our yearlong 85th anniversary celebration in 2025! Do you know someone who was helped through one of our programs or who worked at Goodwill? We'd love to see any photos or hear from you in the comments below.
