About us

Goodwill-Suncoast began in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, assisting a handful of people with disabilities to gain work skills and paychecks. Now it helps thousands of people overcome a variety of barriers to employment through employment programs, five subsidized apartment buildings, work activities centers for adults with developmental disabilities, as well as rehabilitative community corrections facilities. To support these services, Goodwill-Suncoast operates 16 retail stores and three outlet stores.
