Goodwill Industries of Eastern North Carolina, Inc. invests in stronger communities by supporting education, employment, and life engagement. As a Strategic Partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain, Goodwill has made a $1 million investment to support Club operations and programming across eastern North Carolina. This transformational gift helps provide essential resources, including technology, transportation, and programs that promote academic success and workforce readiness. Through this partnership, Goodwill is helping ensure that resources generated in our communities are reinvested locally, creating more opportunities for young people to build great futures.
Ross Stores invests in brighter futures by supporting programs that unlock the full potential of the next generation.
