We’re excited to put the spotlight on our brand new Digital Equity Bus, Evergreen Goodwill’s first high-tech mobile classroom.
The bus will bring our Job Training and Education (JTE) computer courses, workforce development programs and wraparound support services directly to rural and historically under-resourced communities across Northwest Washington
State-of-the-art vehicle designed and equipped by Black & Veatch reflects what’s possible in furthering diversity, equity and inclusion in workforce development
Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington has been committed to helping bridge the “digital divide” within the communities we serve through our vital Job Training and Education Programs and services. We do this by bringing digital literacy to the forefront of many of the courses and programs we offer, as well as by helping people in the community gain access to the internet and various forms of technology.
Through the support of generous donors and shoppers who choose to go treasure hunting at Goodwill, we were able to save more than 76 million pounds of materials from local landfills just last year alone! At Evergreen Goodwill, we are all about reducing waste and playing our part in helping the environment.
When you choose to shop at or donate to Evergreen Goodwill, you’re not only helping to reduce waste and keep materials out of local landfills, but you’re also giving back to the community by helping to break down barriers to education and employment. We call this 360° of Sustainability.
Thanks to Goodwill’s partnership with United Way of King County, tax experts will be available at our Burien Goodwill location through April 21 to help you file your taxes in person.
